If I just want to parse json in an `org.http4k.core.Response.body` to kotlin maps and lists, what's the best way to do it? I don't want lenses or data classes or anything like that...

OK, I guess I need a lens... :slightly_smiling_face:
```import org.http4k.format.Moshi.auto

val lens = Body.auto<Map<String, *>>().toLens()
val response: Response = TODO()
val json: Map<String, *> = lens(response)```

You don't necessarily need a lens, but you'd just be calling the same code the lens does. Manually it would be
```    Moshi.asA&lt;Map&lt;String, Any&gt;&gt;(Response(Status.OK).bodyString())```

You could also write your own utility method like
```    inline fun &lt;reified T: Any&gt; HttpMessage.data(): Map&lt;String, Any&gt; = Body.auto&lt;Map&lt;String, Any&gt;&gt;().toLens()(this)```

or alternatively...
```response.json&lt;Map&lt;String, Any&gt;&gt;()```
There are a few ways! :joy:
