How to parse request parameters from a post request.

[A Khan]

Hi, 

I am new to Node js.  I am trying to parse the request parameters from a post request.  Basically, I have a simple HTML form. I submit the form and in my Node.js server I want to access the form fields values.  

I see lots of example for parsing query parameters but, that's not what I am looking for.  

Thanks and regards,

Ak

They've been conflated in a lot of other environments, but node developers tend to keep them separate. the only thing they have in common is that browsers send both as query-string formatted fields.

If you're using Express, the body-parser middleware is for this: it sets req.body, after reading the req stream.
