What problem does it solve?

API versioning strategy helps teams evolve APIs safely without breaking existing clients, balancing stability with progress.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Version strategy selection: URL path, custom header, media-type, or query-based versioning, plus an evolutionary approach.
  • Deprecation policy: Sunset windows, deprecation headers, and migration guidance to minimize client disruption.
  • Phased rollout & governance: Parallel old and new versions during migration, with in-band and out-of-band communications.

Quick Start

Provide the API style, intended consumers, and change profile to generate a migration-ready versioning plan.
