 </ul> <h2 style="margin:0px; padding:0px">Introduction</h2> In this article lets discuss about Web API versioning and the need for the same.&nbsp; Versioning of API is very much required if you are providing services for the public. It's the only way we can make our API's supporting forward and backward compatibility. By versioning you don't effect the existing customers and break their applications which depends on your API. The default Web API routing logic finds the controller by class name. The controller selection is handled internally by Web API through&nbsp;DefaultHttpControllerSelector&nbsp;which implementsIHttpControllerSelector.SelectController. We can't really version Web API's with this default controller selector but we can plug in our custom implementation for selecting the right version of our controller at run time. By implementing&nbsp;IHttpControllerSelector&nbsp;interface one can easily create a custom HTTP controller selector. Let us see two different kinds of Web API versioning. You can decide on which ever is best and suits your needs. One can either go with namespace or HTTP custom header based versioning mechanism. </td>

 </ul> <h2 style="margin:0px; padding:0px">介绍</h2> 本文中，我们来讨论一下Web API版本化的问题，以及同类需求。&nbsp; 当你准备提供公共服务接口时，Web API的版本化问题会显得非常必要。它是我们为API提供向前、向后兼容支持的唯一途径。通过版本化，你能够不影响现有用户的使用，而且不会破坏那些依赖于你提供的API的应用。 默认的Web API的路由逻辑是：通过类名来查找controller。Controller的选取则是在Web API内部通过选择器&nbsp;DefaultHttpControllerSelector（它实现了&nbsp;IhttpControllerSelector.SelectController）来处理。我们无法通过默认的controller选择器实现Web API的版本化，但却可以在运行时通过自定义插件实现正确的版本选择。实现&nbsp;IhttpControllerSelector接口就可以轻松创建自定义的HTTP controller选择器。 来看看两种不同的Web API版本化方式，你可以自己决定哪一个是符合需求的最佳方式。一个是利用命名空间，一个是基于自定义HTTP头部信息的机制。 </td>
