title: NodeJS SyntaxError: Unexpected string in JSON at position 16
body: <p>I am using <code>body-parser</code> middleware in order to handle JSON requests bodies in REST API.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried to "hack" and test how the system handles such an input:</p>
  
  <pre><code>// Note the "form": "a" does not include the required ","
  {
      "from": "a"
      "destination": "Netanya",
      "date": {
          "start": "15-07-2018"
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now I do not know where I can catch such an error of bad input syntax.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried to remove the body-parser and error is not thrown, but of course, then I cannot have the data in the <code>req.body</code>.</p>
