The most common strategy is using URL versioning, that is clear, easily understood by clients, and aligns well with RESTful principles. To do that you need:
- Embed the API version in the request URL (e.g., /api/v1/products, /api/v2/products).
- Create separate controllers or projects for each API version to maintain code separation and avoid conflicts.
- Upgrade the version whenever a contract or logic change occurs.
