Description
The express-unless library ended up being a cognitive risk to easily understanding when a json body needs to be parsed and under which routes and conditions. By modifying our router logic to only execute express.json() when the endpoint really needs it, we can avoid this problem and improve code intent and clarity.
Json parsing for arguments also do not require a body larger than the default library length of 100kb, so we are removing the configuration option entirely.
