Evolve APIs safely

API versioning uses clear version identifiers, compatibility guarantees, and deprecation plans to evolve APIs while limiting client breakage.

Mark Versions

Use URLs or headers to signal versions consistently.

Limit Breakage

Prefer additive changes; document and test compatibility.

Deprecate Well

Announce timelines, support overlaps, and provide migration guides.
