node js and json.s

I am looking how I can use node.js to decode json.

My Application is very simple. I will get a Request: PUT with json. I need to check the json body for some value if that is present send a succuess (200) response.

how can I do in node to valid json.

,

var code = 'something you need to check';
try {
    var decoded = JSON.parse(code);
    // valid json
} catch(e) {
    // invalid json
}
