How do you implement API versioning effectively?

Mid ASP.NET Web API

Answer

API versioning ensures backward compatibility and predictable updates.

Common approaches:

  • URL versioning: /api/v1/resource
  • Query versioning: ?api-version=1.0
  • Header versioning: api-version: 1.0

Use the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Versioning package and decorate controllers with [ApiVersion("1.0")].
