By Default angular return responseType as Json, but we can configure below types according to your requirement.

responseType: 'arraybuffer'|'blob'|'json'|'text'

Ex:

this.http.post(
    'http://localhost:8080/order/addtocart', 
    { dealerId: 13, createdBy: "-1", productId, quantity }, 
    { headers, responseType: 'text'});
