javascript - Asynchronous POST shows Unexpected token n -

i posting data via jquery $.ajax() call so:

var data = {}; data.name = $("#name").val(); data.email = $("#email").val(); data.message = $("#message").val();  $.ajax({     type: "post",     url: "http://myhost/contact/sendemail",     data: data,     contenttype: "application/json",      datatype: "json",     success: function (data) {          console.log("success");     } }); 

which getting routed contactroutes.js:

contactrouter.route("/sendemail").post(contactcontroller.sendemail); 

to controller supposed pull body of request make api call , send email message.

sendemail:

var sendemail = function(req, res) {     var payload = {         to: req.body.email,         from: "noreply@test.com",         subject: req.body.name,         text: req.body.message     };     ...omitted brevity }; 

the error continue receive syntaxerror: unexpected token n in body-parser module. have app.js setup this:

app.use(bodyparser.json()); app.use(bodyparser.urlencoded({ extended: true })); 

i'm lost look. i've examined json object , appears correct, i'm missing something. have suggestions? also, how can sure contactroutes.js picking content passed in data?
