Django Rest test not giving XML as response but json

This is my view

from rest_framework_xml.renderers import XMLRenderer

@api_view(['GET', 'PUT', 'POST'])
@renderer_classes((XMLRenderer,))
@permission_classes((AllowAny,))
def users(request, id, format=None):
    serializer = MySerializer(model,  context={'request': request})
    return Response(serializer.data)

If i visit the URL by browser then i get XML as response in chrome as desired.

But in my tests

url = reverse('user-detail', kwargs={
    'id': 10,
})
response = self.client.get(url)
result = response.data

I get the result as dictionary . I mean the result which i get before passing to XMLRender.

I don't know if thats the desired behaviour but how can test the xml response

The .data property of the Response holds the unrendered content. You want to access .content to see your rendered XML.
