title: Unexpected token . in JSON at position 3 when making a POST HTTP Call in Angular
body: <p>I'm attempting to parse a single string response to JSON, but I'm getting an error.</p>

  <p>Unexpected token . in JSON at position 3</p>

  <p>The string I'm trying to parse is simply</p>
  <pre><code>1.0.INDIVIDUAL
  </code></pre>
  <p>I thought that full stops were allowed in JSON strings? Unless there's an additional step I'm missing?</p>
  <p>When I make the same call to the API in Postman I get the expected response.</p>

  <p>However when I send just the string over (not parsed) I get a 415 Media Unsupported response from the API server.</p>
