req.body undefined

See original GitHub issue

here is my code and I used postman in chrome in post verb to add json like {aaa:'bbb'} but always the result is {}

var express=require('express'),
    bodyParser = require('body-parser'),
    mongoose=require('mongoose'),
    app=express(),
    port=process.env.PORT||3000;

var jsonParser = bodyParser.json({ type: 'application/*+json' } );
var productsRouter=express.Router();


productsRouter.post('/add',jsonParser,function(req,res){
       res.send(req.body);
});
app.use('/products',productsRouter);

app.listen(port,function(){
    console.log('your server is running');
});
