SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Standard Versioning system defines explicit rules for release, file, and API versioning, ensuring that version changes are visible, auditable, and safe for consumers.

Core Features & Use Cases

Enforces v1.2.3.4 style release versions and clear segment meanings.
Maintains Vn and Vn.m routing to reflect model and behavior changes.
Provides deprecation guidelines, discovery capabilities, and forward-compatibility practices for evolving APIs.
Use it when planning releases, versioned files/services, and API contracts to avoid destructive changes and ensure traceability.
Example: upgrading a library should generate a v2.0.0.0 release and a corresponding api route update.

Quick Start

Apply the Standard Versioning policy to your release process and automation to enforce explicit versioning across model, service, API routes, and deprecation signals.

FAQPage Schema

How do I enforce consistent API versioning and routing across releases?▼

API versioning and routing are enforced by applying explicit rules like Vn and Vn.m routes alongside standard release versions. This ensures model and behavior changes remain visible, auditable, and safe for consumers.

What is the v1.2.3.4 versioning format and when should I use it?▼

The v1.2.3.4 versioning format defines explicit segment meanings for release versions. Use it when planning releases, versioned files, or services to avoid destructive changes and ensure traceability across your codebase.

How do I implement deprecation strategies and forward compatibility for evolving APIs?▼

Deprecation strategies and forward compatibility are implemented using provided deprecation metadata and discovery capabilities. These guidelines prevent destructive changes while allowing APIs to evolve safely for all consumers.

Can I integrate versioning validation rules into my CI/CD and documentation pipelines?▼

Yes, versioning validation rules are designed for integration into CI/CD and documentation pipelines. Applying the policy to your automation enforces explicit versioning across models, services, routes, and deprecation signals.

What's the best way to avoid destructive API changes when upgrading a library?▼

To avoid destructive API changes when upgrading a library, generate a corresponding v2.0.0.0 release and update the API route. This structured approach maintains visibility and traceability for consumers.
