Node.js module to receive JSON over an HTTP request.
OTHER License
Receive JSON over an HTTP request.
npm install receive-json
Example
var http = require('http');
var onjson = require('receive-json');
http.createServer(function(req, res) {
onjson(req, function(err, body) {
if (err) {
res.statusCode = 400;
return res.end('oh no!');
}
res.end('awesome!');
});
}).listen(3000);
The following example uses the limit
option, which allows you to limit the size of the payload
to prevent users from overcharging your server. The limit is passed as number of bytes.
var http = require('http');
var onjson = require('receive-json');
http.createServer(function(req, res) {
onjson(req, {limit: 10000}, function(err, body) {
if (err) {
res.statusCode = 400;
return res.end('oh no!');
}
res.end('awesome!');
});
}).listen(3000);
You can also call the .defaults
function to have default settings applied to every call
of the function. Like this.
var http = require('http');
var onjson = require('receive-json');
onjsonlimit = onjson.defaults({limit: 10000});
http.createServer(function(req, res) {
onjsonlimit(req, function(err, body) { // this call has the limit applied to it.
if (err) {
res.statusCode = 400;
return res.end('oh no!');
}
res.end('awesome!');
});
}).listen(3000);
