Why the bodyParser.json was used twice?












1















I am a beginner of Node.js , I am researching the sample code as below, I do not understandard why it using the [app.use(bodyParser.json());] twice, what is the purpose of #1 and #2? thanks



    var express = require('express');
var http = require('http');
var path = require('path');
var fs = require('fs');
var mime = require('mime');

var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
var cfenv = require('cfenv');

var vcapServices = require('vcap_services');
var appEnv = cfenv.getAppEnv();

var app = express();
app.use(cookieParser());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.use(bodyParser.json()); // #1
app.set('appName', 'watsonDemo');
app.set('port', process.env.PORT || 6003);

app.set('views', path.join(__dirname + '/HTML'));
app.engine('html', require('ejs').renderFile);
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/HTML'));
app.use(bodyParser.json()); // #2

app.use('/', require("./controller/restapi/router"));

  • Probably a mistake. Using it once is okay.
