Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Create and maintain API version changes. Use when adding breaking changes to API responses/requests, creating version change files, transforming data between versions, or handling backward compatibility.Key capabilities
- →Map API schemas between versions
- →Create transformation files for response/request mapping
- →Register new transforms in a global registry
- →Ensure backward compatibility for legacy clients
How it works
It uses a versioned registry to pipe data through successive mapping functions from the current schema back to historical definitions.
Inputs & outputs
When to use api-versioning
- →Transform API responses for backward compatibility
- →Create version change files for new features
- →Map schema changes between API versions
- →Register new version transformations
About api-versioning
Handles breaking changes by mapping data structures between different API versions. Uses a registry-based system to transform responses (new to old) and requests (old to new) automatically.
Create and maintain API version changes. Use when adding breaking changes to API responses/requests, creating version change files, transforming data between versions, or handling backward compatibility.
When not to use it
- →API projects with no versioning requirements
- →Rapidly changing prototypes where breaking changes don't matter
Prerequisites
Limitations
- →Requires maintaining multiple historical schemas
- →Mapping code complexity grows with version history
How it compares
It offloads backward compatibility logic into a dedicated, scalable registry system rather than manual conditional code.
