How to convert JSON response to tables

I am the task of consuming from a webservice some data by means of REST, for the consumption of data from Power BI I have used as a source a blank query where later I have added in the advanced editor the following query:
 
let

    url = "http://*********",

    headers= [#"Content-Type"="application/json"],

    postData = Text.ToBinary("{""token"":""*************""}"),

    response = Web.Contents(

        url,

        [

            Headers = headers,

            Content = postData          

        ]

    ),

    jsonResponse = Json.Document(response)

in

    jsonResponse

As
an answer I have clearly obtained a JSON file which is composed as follows:
{'result':'1',

'message':'Successful Operation',

'data':[

{'idActivity':'1001',

'organization':'ABC-001' ,

'date':'6/10/2022 2:34:04 PM',

'lat':'57.3497300',

'lng':'-90.3929000',

'status':'0',

'company':'382',

'tag':'0'},

{'idActivity':'1002',

'organization':'DEF-002',

'date':'6/10/2022 2:21:15 PM',

'lat':'83.6718200',

'lng':'-23.3464000',

'status':'0',

'company':'932',

'tag':'0'}]}
I would like to know if there is a way to convert this JSON file to tables and then be able to represent the information in power bi visuals?
