+You can mount `express.json()` on specific routes to use different `limit`
+values. Register route-specific parsers before any broader parser that should
+not apply to those routes:
+
+```js
+app.post('/upload', express.json({ limit: '5mb' }), function (req, res) {
+  res.send('upload received');
+});
+
+app.use(express.json({ limit: '100kb' }));
+
+app.post('/profile', function (req, res) {
+  res.json(req.body);
+});
