Like, is it the right method? Are the bindings/qs parameters/headers 
present and valid? And so on. The body should be the last thing you 
check, due to how expensive it can be, not the first.

&gt;&gt;<i> I would explicitly put these checks in the handler directly. This of course means that there is no need to read it twice anymore.

</I>
I usually share code by writing functions. Then I call these functions 
where needed.
