IMO interceptors are bad. they hide what might get transformed with the API call at the place it is being used.

> Likewise, every response I get is JSON. There's no reason to manually unwrap the response into JSON every time.

This is not true unless you are not interfacing with your own backends. even then why not just make a helper that unwraps as json by default but can be passed an arg to parse as something else
