The `response.json()` method can throw an error if the response is not valid JSON. Wrap the `response.json()` call in a `try...catch` block. If a parsing error occurs, catch the error and update your component's state to reflect a JSON parsing failure. This is crucial as a network request might seem successful (status 200), but the content received is invalid.
