title: Advantage of typed Get in httpclient
body: <p>Can anyone explain the advantage of a typed get method in httpClient in angular 5.<br>
  Specifically the difference between   <code>get(url..);</code>  and  <code>get&lt;myObject&gt;(url)</code>.   </p>
  
  <p>What I have understood is that the second method is used to specify the type of data we are getting back. But if the backend api returns a json object, is this needed ?<br>
  The Backend api returns a jsonObject in my case. So is there any specific advantage if I specify the second <code>get&lt;myObject&gt;</code>.<br>
  Any help is much appreciated.  </p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
