var authInfo = {"user":"1","password":"a"}
var user = authInfo.user
var pass = authInfo.password

// user = 1 , pass = a

Data transmitted via POST could be found in req.body.

For your example:

req.body.authInfo

Also: You need a data parser enabled, otherwise the Post data will not be decoded. I assume you use express, so you would need app.use(express.bodyParser()).
