How to use expressjs with connect?

Question

var express = require('express'),
    routes = require('./routes'),
    http = require('http'),
    path = require('path'),
    fs = require('fs');

var app = express();

app.set('port', process.env.PORT || 3000);
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
app.set('view engine', 'jade');

app.use(express.json());
app.use(app.router);
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));

app.get('/', routes.index);

http.createServer(app).listen(app.get('port'), function(){
  console.log('Express server listening on port ' + app.get('port'));
});

I'm getting the error Most middleware (like json) is no longer bundled with....
I've npm installed connect in the same folder.
But how do i use it?

I couldn't find any combined tutorial on connect & express , they either talk about connect or express .

Quoting from the Express.js's middleware documentation ,

As of 4.x, Express no longer depends on Connect. All of Express' previously included middleware are now in separate repos. Please view the list of middleware . The only included middleware is now express.static() .

So, to use json middleware, you need to include the body-parser in the package.json and then use like this

var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
app.use(bodyParser.json());
