Django - REST Framework Basics

Consider the following Django REST Framework APIView:

from rest_framework.views import APIView
from rest_framework.response import Response

class GreetView(APIView):
    def get(self, request):
        return Response({"greeting": "Welcome to the API!"})

What will the browser display when you navigate to this view's URL?

AA plain HTML page with only the text 'Welcome to the API!'

BA browsable API page showing the JSON response with a form for GET requests

CA raw JSON string without any HTML formatting

DA 404 Not Found error because no template is specified

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Identify the view type
The view is a subclass of APIView returning a Response object with JSON data.
Step 2: Understand DRF's default renderer behavior
By default, DRF includes BrowsableAPIRenderer which renders a browsable HTML interface in browsers.
Step 3: Result in browser
When accessed via a browser, the response is rendered as an HTML page showing the JSON data and a form for GET requests.
Final Answer:
A browsable API page showing the JSON response with a form for GET requests -> Option B
