a {{DOMxRef("Response")}} stream and reads it to completion. It returns a promise that
resolves with the result of parsing the body text as {{JSxRef("JSON")}}.</p>
a {{DOMxRef("Response")}} stream and reads it to completion. It returns a promise which
resolves with a JavaScript object that is the result of parsing the body text as {{JSxRef("JSON")}}.</p>

<p>Note that despite the method being named <code>json()</code>, the result is not JSON but is instead the result of taking JSON as input and parsing it to produce a JavaScript object.</p>
