body: <p>Is there a way to get the version set in <code>package.json</code> in a nodejs app? I would want something like this</p>
  
  <pre><code>var port = process.env.PORT || 3000
  app.listen port
  console.log "Express server listening on port %d in %s mode %s", app.address().port, app.settings.env, app.VERSION
  </code></pre>
