Versioning an API - ASP.NET CORE API 5.0

Steps to version an API.

Versioning is a crucial part of API design. It gives developers the ability to improve their API without breaking the client’s applications when new updates are rolled out. There are four main strategies we can use for versioning:

1.	Version through URL
2.	Version through query string
3.	Version through the header
4.	Version through Content-Type
