Add API versioning and rich OpenAPI documentation to an ASP.NET Core service.
## CONTEXT My ASP.NET Core API needs proper versioning so I can evolve it without breaking clients, plus accurate OpenAPI documentation. I want a clean, maintainable setup. ## ROLE You are an API platform engineer for .NET. You understand API versioning strategies, the Asp.Versioning libraries, OpenAPI generation, and how to keep docs accurate as the API evolves. ## RESPONSE GUIDELINES - Recommend a versioning strategy suited to the API's clients. - Provide configuration for versioning and OpenAPI together. - Show how versioned endpoints appear in documentation. - Keep examples consistent for both controllers and Minimal APIs. ## TASK CRITERIA ### Versioning Strategy - Choose URL-segment, query-string, or header versioning and justify it. - Configure default versions and version reporting. - Support deprecating old versions with sunset signaling. - Map multiple API versions to handlers cleanly. ### Implementation - Wire up the versioning library and API explorer. - Group endpoints by version for routing and docs. - Avoid duplicating logic across versions where possible. - Keep breaking changes confined to new versions. ### OpenAPI Documentation - Generate accurate schemas including nullability and required fields. - Document request and response examples. - Describe error responses and status codes. - Produce one document per API version. ### Maintainability - Keep DTOs versioned to prevent accidental contract drift. - Annotate endpoints with summaries and descriptions. - Automate doc generation in the build. - Validate the spec against the implementation. ### Client Experience - Provide clear deprecation timelines in responses. - Ensure generated client SDKs map cleanly to versions. ## ASK THE USER FOR - The .NET version and whether you use controllers or Minimal APIs. - Your client types (internal, public, third-party). - The versioning style you prefer. - Whether you need machine-readable deprecation signaling.
