For JSON APIs we often parse the response as symbolized keys with JSON.parse(response.body, symbolize_names: true), which is not supported by parsed_body. For all other cases you might want to drop JSON.parse(response.body) and replace it with parsed_body.

There also exists a cop Rails/ResponseParsedBody Show archive.org snapshot that you can enable via rubocop-rails.
