What is API Versioning?

API Versioning is when instead of editing an existing API, you create a new version of it so that existing users don't get affected as well as you can still inculcate the new functionalities so that the users having the new version of the app will be able to use it.

This is done when you are changing a data type or adding a new variable or deleting existing variables, etc.

It's an important practice to keep in mind to not break production.
