METHOD TO SUPPORT MULTIPLE VERSIONS OF APIS AND TO CONTROL RUN-TIME EXECUTION OF AN API

摘要

In an approach to API versioning, annotations are provided to differentiate among two or more versions of an API. Statistics associated with the two or more versions of the API are collected. A call from a client to access one of the two or more versions of the API is intercepted. A best-fit version for the client is identified based on employing analytical elements on the collected statistics. API execution is re-routed to the identified best-fit version during run-time.
