node express module throwing 'has no method urlencoded' error - node.js

Question

var express=require('express')
var app=express();
console.log("Encoded ",express.urlencoded());
app.use(express.urlencoded());
The above code throws the following error :
[user#localhost nodejs]$ node program.js
/home/user/Desktop/nodejs/program.js:41
console.log("Encoded ",express.urlencoded());
^
TypeError: Object function createApplication() {
var app = function(req, res, next) {
app.handle(req, res, next);
};
mixin(app, proto);
mixin(app, EventEmitter.prototype);
app.request = { __proto__: req, app: app };
app.response = { __proto__: res, app: app };
app.init();
return app;
} has no method 'urlencoded'

Seems like a similar question here - express.js trouble with connect modules but I'm already having express3.0.0 checked using the suggestion listed here - Find the version of an installed npm package
I also read the Api docs here - http://expressjs.com/api.html and they list urlencoded()
Please help.
I would also like to point, that I also tried using bodyParser() but that too gave the same error of has no method

Answer 1

The express guide is a bit-outdated.
For others having the same problem, the solution is that those methods have moved to a new module body-parser
Sample Code
var express=require('express');
var app=express();
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded());
