javascript - Can't receive body data on node.js

Question

i'm developing a node.js api for a simple app for the first time and i'm confused about receiving data on body.

The code:

router.route("/ReceiveJSON").get((request, response) => {

    console.log(request.body);
    response.send("ok");
});

I'm sending this on Postman to test:

{
    "name": "test"
}

So i'm supposed to get this text on console, but i only get "{}" on console.

What am i doing wrong?

I dont know if this is causing the problem but i algo got the message "(node:11396) [DEP0066] DeprecationWarning: OutgoingMessage.prototype._headers is deprecated (Use node --trace-deprecation ... to show where the warning was created)" on console (but im not even using headers)

Hi you can try to use express like in this example:

const express = require('express')
const app = express()

app.use(
  express.urlencoded({
    extended: true
  })
)

app.use(express.json())

app.post('/todos', (req, res) => {
  console.log(req.body.todo)
})

I don't test it actually.
