Just an update (07-2014), as I'm not able to add comments:

As correctly noted above, newer Express versions have deprecated the use of the limit middleware and now provide it as a built-in option for the BodyParser middleware:

   var express    = require('express')
   var bodyParser = require('body-parser')

   var app = express()
   app.use(bodyParser.json({ limit: '5mb' }))
