In a large web application using Gorilla Mux, you need to version your API endpoints. How would you approach this with Gorilla Mux?

  • Implement content negotiation to serve different versions of the API based on the "Accept" header in the request.
  • Prefix the API routes with the version number (e.g., "/v1/users", "/v2/users") to distinguish between different versions of the API.
  • Use subdomains to represent different API versions (e.g., "v1.example.com", "v2.example.com") and configure Gorilla Mux to route requests accordingly.
  • Utilize query parameters to specify the API version when making requests (e.g., "/users?v=1", "/users?v=2") and handle them in Gorilla Mux routes.
Versioning API endpoints in Gorilla Mux can be achieved by prefixing the routes with the version number. This approach keeps the API version explicit and easy to manage. Utilizing subdomains or content negotiation may introduce complexity and can be less intuitive for clients consuming the API. Query parameters can also work but might not be as clean as route prefixes.
