Plug v1.3.4 Plug.Parsers.JSON

Parses JSON request body.

JSON arrays are parsed into a "_json" key to allow proper param merging.

An empty request body is parsed as an empty map.

Summary

Attempts to parse the connection’s request body given the content-type type, subtype, and its parameters

parse(conn, arg2, subtype, headers, opts)

Attempts to parse the connection’s request body given the content-type type, subtype, and its parameters.

The arguments are:

the Plug.Conn connection
type, the content-type type (e.g., "x-sample" for the "x-sample/json" content-type)
subtype, the content-type subtype (e.g., "json" for the "x-sample/json" content-type)
params, the content-type parameters (e.g., %{"foo" => "bar"} for the "text/plain; foo=bar" content-type)

This function should return:

{:ok, body_params, conn} if the parser is able to handle the given content-type; body_params should be a map
{:next, conn} if the next parser should be invoked
{:error, :too_large, conn} if the request goes over the given limit
