Note: custom body parser config is broken in Sails <= v0.12.1. This example will work with version 0.12.2 onward.
Quick demonstration of overriding the default body parser in Sails (Skipper) to allow parsing XML bodies. All of the relevant code is in the config/http.js file. To test, npm install and sails lift, then use the POST /echo route provided in config/routes.js, e.g.:
curl -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -X POST --data "<root>XML is x-citing</root>" http://localhost:1337/echo
should respond with:
{
"root": "XML is x-citing"
}
