write a function for Node.js and Express that handles a JSON post to save a JSON file of a given name with data as supplied as member "contents". it will have a fixed limit on size of the post, as well as the size of the data. it will call a function called "authorize()" which is stubbed in, and can be assumed to correctly send true or false to a callback function, based on whether the file write should be allowed. the file will be stored in a directory called "./www/uploadedData/"

Absolutely, here's a simple setup for a Node.js app with Express that handles JSON post requests and writes the contents to a file. The `authorize` function is not implemented but could be any function that authenticates the user, checks for size limits, etc.

**index.js**

```javascript
const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const path = require('path');

const app = express();
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));

app.post('/upload', (req, res) => {
  const { contents } = req.body;
  const { filename, path } = req.file;
  console.log('Received file:', filename, path);

  // Perform any file handling here, e.g., move, size, authorize, etc.

  if (authorize(contents.length, filename)) {
    // Success
    console.log('Authorized file write.');
    res.send('File written successfully.');
  } else {
    // Failed
    console.error('File write denied.');
    res.status(403).send('File write denied.');
  }
});

function authorize(size, filename) {
  // Example: Always allow small files
  if (size <= 1024) {
    return true;
  }

  return false;
}

const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;
app.listen(PORT, () => console.log(`Server running on port ${PORT}`));
```

This server listens on port 3000 by default, but you can change the `PORT` variable to set a different port. It uses `express.static` to serve static files from the "./public" directory. The `/upload` route handles JSON post requests with a `contents` field.

Note that this is only a simple setup and doesn't cover all the security or error handling concerns. You should further customize this code to match your use case.

To create a function that handles a JSON post in Node.js and Express, you'll first need to install the Express framework and the 'body-parser' middleware, which helps to parse incoming JSON data. Additionally, you'll need the 'fs' module to handle file operations.

Here's a sample implementation:

```javascript
const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const fs = require('fs');
const app = express();

// Set a limit on the size of the POST data (e.g., 1 MB).
const postSizeLimits = bodyParser.json({ limit: '1mb' });

let authorize = (callback) => {
  // Stubbed-in function. In practice, replace this with your actual authorization logic.
  return callback(true);
};

app.post('/saveJsonFile', postSizeLimits, (req, res) => {
  const maxContentSize = 500000; // Set the maximum allowed size for the content (e.g., 500 KB).

  // Check if the required fields are present and have the correct data types.
  if (!req.body || !req.body.fileName || typeof req.body.fileName !== 'string' ||
      !req.body.contents || typeof req.body.contents !== 'object' ||
      JSON.stringify(req.body.contents).length > maxContentSize) {
    res.status(400).send('Bad Request: Invalid or missing fields, or content exceeds size limit.');
    return;
  }

  authorize((allowed) => {
    if (allowed) {
      const filePath = `./www/uploadedData/${req.body.fileName}.json`;
      fs.writeFile(filePath, JSON.stringify(req.body.contents), (err) => {
        if (err) {
          res.status(500).send('Server Error: Unable to save the file.');
        } else {
          res.status(200).send('File saved successfully.');
        }
      });
    } else {
      res.status(403).send('Forbidden: You do not have permission to perform this action.');
    }
  });
});

app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Server listening on port 3000.'));
```

Remember to create the `./www/uploadedData/` directory and replace the stubbed-in authorize function with the actual authorization logic you need for your use case.

To test the API, you can use tools like Postman or curl to send JSON POST requests to the '/saveJsonFile' endpoint with the required 'fileName' and 'contents' fields.
