body parser

Body parser

sicarii has its own built in body parser for the following content types:

• application/json
• multipart/form-data
• application/x-www-form-urlencoded

These content types can be enabled/disabled at config.stream.content_types.

if you are not using it, remove it from config.stream.content_types to improve both security and performance.

The correct content type headers must be sent with the request.

multipart/form-data and application/x-www-form-urlencoded will automatically be parsed to valid json.

for example:

// query
router.get('/content', function(stream, headers, flags){
  let query = stream.query; //json object

})

// body
router.post('/content', function(stream, headers, flags){
  let body = stream.body.json; //json object
  body = stream.body.buffer; //nodejs buffer
  body = stream.body.text; //string
})

All other content types are available as text or buffer
