🚀 Key Features Implemented

Versioning Strategy

  • Semantic Versioning (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH)
  • URL-based versioning (/api/v1/, /api/v2/)
  • Header-based versioning (X-API-Version, Accept header)
  • Version priority system (URL > X-API-Version > Accept > default)

Deprecation System

  • Automatic deprecation headers (Deprecation, Sunset, Warning)
  • Migration guide links in response headers
  • Timeline management (announcement → warning → sunset)
  • Graceful degradation during deprecation period

Enhanced v2 Features

  • Batch Operations - Create multiple archives/policies at once
  • Enhanced Search - Semantic, fuzzy, regex search with faceting
  • Real-time Notifications - Multiple channels (email, SMS, Slack, webhooks)
  • Webhook System - Event-driven architecture support
  • Advanced Analytics - Search analytics, usage statistics
  • Improved Error Handling - Structured error responses with codes
  • Enhanced Metadata - Tags, priority, access tracking
  • Data Import/Export - Multiple formats with streaming support

Version Information Endpoints

  • /version - Complete version information and status
  • /health - Health check with version details
  • /api/version - Current API version information

🧪 Testing Coverage

The implementation includes comprehensive testing:

Version Negotiation Tests

  • URL-based version detection
  • Header-based version detection
  • Accept header version parsing
  • Default version fallback

Deprecation Tests

  • Deprecation header presence
  • Sunset header validation
  • Warning message content
  • Migration guide links

Feature Tests

  • v1 legacy functionality
  • v2 enhanced features
  • Batch operations
  • Search capabilities
  • Webhook creation
  • Notification rules

📊 Version Status

Version Status Release Deprecation Sunset Features
v1 🟡 Deprecated 2024-01-01 2025-06-01 2025-12-01 Basic CRUD, Audit, Search
v2 🟢 Active 2024-03-28 - - Enhanced features, Batch ops, Webhooks

🔧 Usage Examples

Version Negotiation

# URL-based
curl http://localhost:8000/api/v1/archives
curl http://localhost:8000/api/v2/archives

# Header-based
curl -H "X-API-Version: v2" http://localhost:8000/archives
curl -H "Accept: application/json; version=v2" http://localhost:8000/archives

Enhanced v2 Features

# Batch operations
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/v2/archives/batch \
  -d '{"archives": [...], "validate_all": true}'

# Enhanced search
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/v2/search \
  -d '{"query": "test", "search_type": "semantic"}'

# Webhooks
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/v2/webhooks \
  -d '{"name": "test", "url": "...", "events": [...]}'
