💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using JSONRenderer only disables the browsable interface.

Choosing XMLRenderer or AdminRenderer does not enable the browsable API.

To enable the browsable API interface, you add 'rest_framework.renderers.BrowsableAPIRenderer' to the DEFAULT_RENDERER_CLASSES list in your settings.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Importing JSONRenderer only provides JSON output, no browsable interface.

TemplateHTMLRenderer is for HTML templates, not the browsable API.

You import BrowsableAPIRenderer from rest_framework.renderers to use it in your views or settings.

Fix the error in the view to enable the browsable API renderer.

Django

from rest_framework.views import APIView
from rest_framework.response import Response
from rest_framework.renderers import JSONRenderer, [1]

class HelloView(APIView):
    renderer_classes = [JSONRenderer, BrowsableAPIRenderer]

    def get(self, request):
        return Response({'message': 'Hello, world!'})

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Forgetting to import BrowsableAPIRenderer causes a NameError.

Importing the wrong renderer class disables the browsable interface.

The view must import BrowsableAPIRenderer to use it in renderer_classes. This enables the browsable API interface for this view.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to set the default renderer classes including the browsable API in Django settings.

Django

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_RENDERER_CLASSES': [
        [1],
        [2]
    ]
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using TemplateHTMLRenderer or XMLRenderer instead of BrowsableAPIRenderer.

Forgetting to include JSONRenderer disables JSON responses.

The default renderer classes should include JSONRenderer for JSON output and BrowsableAPIRenderer for the browsable API interface.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to customize a view to support JSON and browsable API renderers with a simple GET response.

Django

from rest_framework.views import APIView
from rest_framework.response import Response
from rest_framework.renderers import [1], [2]

class CustomView(APIView):
    renderer_classes = [[3]]

    def get(self, request):
        return Response({'status': 'success'})

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Importing both renderers as one string causes syntax errors.

Setting renderer_classes to only one renderer disables the other output format.

You import both JSONRenderer and BrowsableAPIRenderer and set renderer_classes to include both so the view supports JSON and browsable API output.
