+    This is the same as NamespaceVersioning, the difference is that

+    In settings.py, REST_FRAMEWORK should include
+        ALLOWED_VERSIONS: a list of all available versions
+        DEFAULT_VERSION: a string containing the default version to use
+
+    An example URL conf that is namespaced using different namespaces
