How do you version a REST API in Spring Boot? स्प्रिंग बूट में REST API को वर्ज़न कैसे करें?

Common API versioning strategies in Spring Boot include URI versioning (/api/v1/users, /api/v2/users), request parameter versioning (/api/users?version=1), custom header versioning (X-API-Version: 1), and media-type versioning via the Accept header (application/vnd.company.v1+json).

URI versioning is the most common because it's explicit, cacheable, and easy to route with @RequestMapping("/api/v1/...") on separate controller classes; header and media-type versioning keep URLs stable but require more setup with custom request-mapping conditions.

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/v1/users")
public class UserControllerV1 { ... }

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/v2/users")
public class UserControllerV2 { ... }
