The body-parser dependency is listed at version ^1.19.0 in package.json, but Express 4.22.1 requires body-parser ~1.20.3 (which resolves to 1.20.4 in the lock file). Since body-parser is already included as a dependency of Express, consider removing it as a direct dependency unless your application specifically requires direct access to a particular version. This will prevent potential version conflicts and reduce dependency duplication.

Suggested change
"body-parser": "^1.19.0",
