If a viewset is using the filter backendrest_framework_json_api.filters.QueryParameterValidationFilter the server will throw a 500
error when an invalid parameter is provided and the response is being rendered usingrest_framework.renderers.BrowsableAPIRenderer.

The below code snippet is one way to fix the issue.

import rest_framework.renderersimport rest_framework.exceptionsclass BrowsableAPIRenderer(rest_framework.renderers.BrowsableAPIRenderer):    def get_filter_form(self, *args, **kwargs):        """        override `get_filter_form` so that if a user uses        uses a filter backend that throws a `ValidationError`        such as `QueryParameterValidationFilter` the server        will return the proper 4XX error with incorrect query        parameters, rather than a 500 error.        """        try:            return super(BrowsableAPIRenderer, self).get_filter_form(*args, **kwargs)        except rest_framework.exceptions.ValidationError:            return ""

It may be in the scope of this project to add this fix to
rest_framework_json_api.renderers or mention it in the documentation.

There are other issues with allowing the BrowsableApiRenderer with the
QueryParameterValidationFilter such as the 'format' option the browsable
api provides.

class QueryParameterValidationFilter(rest_framework_json_api.filters.QueryParameterValidationFilter):    query_regex = re.compile(r'^(sort|include|format)$|^(filter|fields|page)(\[[\w\.\-]+\])?$')

Users can use the above fix to allowformat, however they may want to do something more complex such as overridingQueryParameterValidationFilter.validate_query_params so that it uses a different
query_regex based on the if the view is a subclass ofrest_framework.renderers.BrowsableAPIRenderer
