# API Versioning Strategies

## Versioning Approaches
- URL path versioning (/v1/users)
- Header versioning
- Query parameter versioning
- Content negotiation

## Implementation
- Use semantic versioning
- Deprecate gracefully
- Support multiple versions
- Document changes

## Backward Compatibility
- Don't break existing clients
- Add, don't change
- Deprecation warnings
- Migration guides

## Best Practices
- Version from day one
- Keep versions minimal
- Sunset old versions
- Communicate changes
