Typing JSON.parse to avoid implicit any in TypeScript

What this snippet does

While JSON.parse returns any, passing it around without typing triggers noImplicitAny errors when consumed in strict contexts.

Why practise typing this

Typing tsconfig & compiler code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation TypeScript uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
