Node.js HTTP Request Parser

verified May 27, 2026

node-req is a minimalist I/O module designed to parse and extract specific values from Node.js's native `http.IncomingMessage` object, explicitly designed with no side-effects. It provides a set of helper methods for accessing common request components such as query strings, HTTP method, headers, IP addresses, protocol (HTTP/HTTPS), subdomains, and content negotiation details. Currently at version 2.1.2, this package has not received updates in approximately six years, indicating it is no longer actively maintained. Its core differentiation lies in its pure parsing approach, making no assumptions about routing or higher-level HTTP handling, thus allowing it to integrate into various Node.js server architectures as a low-level utility. It leverages the `qs` package internally for robust query string parsing.
