title: DRF testing: instead of JSON an OrderedDict is returned
body: <p>I'm trying to implement tests for the Django Rest Framework.
  Most of my tests pass and setting them up went smooth, but i'm having an issue now where an <code>assertEqual</code> never succeeds because it keeps comparing JSON with an OrderedDict.</p>
  
  <p>I have no idea where the OrderedDict comes from since DRF <em>should</em> only return JSON (right?).</p>
  
  <p>Might it be possible that the testing environment is parsing the JSON before comparison? That would suck.</p>
  
  <p>I'm doing an integrated test that only tests the data in the response of a GET request to a certain resource, I do this based on JSON fixtures. I'm not testing a specific component of the REST framework since my implementations of the components are so simple they're already tested by the tests in the DRF project.</p>
  
  <p>Anyways, I hope someone can help me!</p>
