@koa/bodyparser is the official body-parsing middleware for the Koa web framework, built on co-body. It parses incoming JSON, form, text, and XML request bodies and exposes them on ctx.request.body before your handlers run.
Use cases
- parse request bodies in koa
- handle form submissions in koa app
- parse urlencoded post data in node
- limit request body size in koa
- parse xml request body in koa
- access parsed body in koa middleware
When to choose
- you use Koa and need to read JSON or urlencoded request bodies
- you want configurable body size limits and content-type parsing
- you need text or XML body parsing in Koa
When to avoid
- you need multipart/form-data or file uploads - use @koa/multer instead
- you are not using the Koa framework
