2. Different options available to version Web API services
3. How to version a Web API service using URI's

Why is versioning required in Web API :
Once a Web API service is made public, different client applications start using your Web API services.

As the business grows and requirements change, we may have to change the services as well, but the changes to the services should be done in way that does not break any existing client applications.

This is when Web API versioning helps. We keep the existing services as is, so we are not breaking the existing client applications, and develop a new version of the service that new client applications can start using.

Different options available to version Web API services : Versioning can be implemented using
1. URI's
2. Query String
3. Version Header
4. Accept Header
5. Media Type

[rohanrvs]

Is there a way we can achieve versioning without code duplication. For example in case we are fetching the data from database then do we need to create multiple version ( V1, V2 etc) for each methods in our business logic layer and Data access layer and so on.?
