I’m not after anything. Why do I need “safety” from a web response? You should be liberal with what you’re accepting from a service.

What “type safety” could you possibly hope for from a system you don’t control?

I’m not even sure where to start from that. Responses provided to an HTTP request are one of the most obvious places where enforcing structure and type safety is clearly a win.
