What, if anything, differentiates an "API client" from an "HTTP client" (HTTP client includes TCP client)

What is required to be considered an "API client"

Perhaps "API client" is "HTTP client" + "JSON parser"

Could "JSON parser" be a separate program

API clients mostly expect JSON responses. So, test assertions have to be able to parse the responses and validate them.
