[Suggestion] Automatically parse request body based on content type

[YassienW]

I'm not sure if there is a convenient way to do this or not, but it would be very handy if requests could be automatically parsed based on the content-type header. Right now the content-type header is pretty much useless in mirage's context, unless it's implemented manually in all the routes that require it.

Perhaps an API to add middle-ware to run on all requests would make something like this easier.

Yes – middleware would solve many problems we have in Mirage right now. I think it might be near the top of our list.

Right now our focus is on

1. Tutorial
2. Fix bugs
3. Launch 1.0
4. Probably address passthrough issues (this might come before 3)

then here's where we might prioritize middleware since it addresses a lot of issues.

Do you think adding json parsing based on content-type header is something you'd be open to adding to mirage itself (without using middle-ware) or not?
