What is the default response type of HttpClient service

Question

can you tell me via code and example What is the default response type of HttpClient service?

Answer 1

By default, HttpClient assumes the server response is JSON and automatically parses it.

Example:

this.http.get('https://api.example.com/data').subscribe(response => {

  console.log(response); // Parsed JSON object

});

Explicitly Setting Response Type:

If you need a different response type, specify it in the request:

Text Response:

this.http.get('https://api.example.com/data', { responseType: 'text' });

Blob Response (for files):

this.http.get('https://api.example.com/file', { responseType: 'blob' });
