The client should try to parse the response body only if it has the appropriate Content-Type header value. It should not assume that responses with various status codes have a particular body format.

Do you suggest having a content-type header specific to your app? Something like "application/my-app+json"? Will most tooling handle this correctly? In my experience the always 200 api style is a lot more common.
