Application stops after JSON request with wrong json object

[sjorobekov]

I send HTTP POST request (Content-type: application/json)

{ foo: "bar"} instead of {"foo" : "bar"}

Application stops with message:

SyntaxError: Unexpected token f
at Object.parse (native)
at IncomingMessage. (C:\Users\Samat\WebstormProjects\express-taxi
\node_modules\express\node_modules\connect\lib\middleware\json.js:76:27)
at IncomingMessage.EventEmitter.emit (events.js:92:17)
at _stream_readable.js:920:16
at process._tickCallback (node.js:415:13)

It's uncomfortable if application stops each time client send wrong json

As you are aware of, you sent invalid JSON. If you want your application not to crash, implement an error handler.

app.use(function errorHandler(err, req, res, next) { res.send('error happened ' + err.message) });
