< p > API versioning allows you to alter behavior between different clients. REST framework provides for a number of different versioning schemes.< / p >
< p > Versioning is determined by the incoming client request, and may either be based on the request URL, or based on the request headers.< / p >
2018-01-15 17:42:44 +03:00
< p > There are a number of valid approaches to approaching versioning. < a href = "https://www.infoq.com/articles/roy-fielding-on-versioning" > Non-versioned systems can also be appropriate< / a > , particularly if you're engineering for very long-term systems with multiple clients outside of your control.< / p >

< p > When API versioning is enabled, the < code > request.version< / code > attribute will contain a string that corresponds to the version requested in the incoming client request.< / p >
< p > By default, versioning is not enabled, and < code > request.version< / code > will always return < code > None< / code > .< / p >

< p > Note that the first group is enclosed in brackets, indicating that this is the matched portion of the hostname.< / p >
2018-01-15 17:42:44 +03:00
< p > The < code > HostNameVersioning< / code > scheme can be awkward to use in debug mode as you will typically be accessing a raw IP address such as < code > 127.0.0.1< / code > .

2015-03-06 15:05:16 +03:00
