DRF Response returns string with formatting characters (newline and space) but is not actually formatting

Question

from django.http.response import JsonResponse
from rest_framework.response import Response

data = { "data":  [
            {"example":"a","id": 1},
            {"example":"b","id": 2},
            {"example":"c","id": 3},
            ], 
        "numItem": 3
       }

# case 1
return JsonResponse(data, json_dumps_params={"indent":4})

Returns this

# case 2
return Response(json.dumps(data, indent=4), content_type='application/json')

Returns this And

# case 3
json_data = json.dumps(data, indent=4)  
return Response(json.loads(json_data), content_type='application/json') 

Returns this

I see that Response is returning a string. Meaning json.dumps(data, indent=4) actually returns a string and I am just passing the stringed JSON with \n and space (formatting).

But why does the formatting work properly with JsonResponse?

How could I make Response also returns formatted JSON and displayed correctly?

And, why is the JSON string passed not being displayed with the actual newline?

according to this you just need to override get_renderer_context to something like this:

def get_renderer_context(self):
    context = super().get_renderer_context()
    context['indent'] = 4
    return context
