API Versioning

Versioning is essential for maintaining backward compatibility as your API evolves. It allows you to introduce new features without breaking existing clients.

Versioning Strategies

There are several strategies for versioning APIs:

• URI Versioning: Including the version number in the API endpoint (e.g., /v1/resource).
• Query Parameter Versioning: Using a query parameter to specify the version (e.g., /resource?version=1).

Choose a strategy that best fits your API's needs and user expectations.
