Learn to implement native API versioning in Spring Boot 4.0 and Spring Framework 7 through this comprehensive 27-minute tutorial that demonstrates multiple versioning strategies for REST APIs. Build a complete user management application from scratch while exploring path segment versioning (e.g., /api/v1/users), request header versioning, query parameters, and media type approaches. Master the creation of custom API version parsers, DTOs, and mappers for different API versions, while understanding best practices for handling breaking changes versus minor updates. Discover when to use v1.0 vs v1.1 vs v2.0 versioning strategies, maintain backward compatibility while adding new features, and configure versioning through both Java configuration and application.properties. The tutorial covers setting up projects with Spring Boot 4.0 RC1, creating user models and repositories, implementing proper DTO mapping patterns, and exploring real-world scenarios for API evolution and client management, providing practical knowledge for maintaining consistent versioning across development teams.
