API Versioning

Versioning is an important aspect of API design, allowing developers to make changes without breaking existing integrations. There are several strategies for versioning APIs.

Common Versioning Strategies

• 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).
• Header Versioning: Specifying the version in the request header.

Choosing the right strategy depends on the API's use case and user base.
