How to implement the different approaches at REST API versioning with Spring MVC

v1 of API requires address data as a single address parameter in the (german) format

(five digit zip code)(one space character)(name of town)

v2 changes that, requiring a (five digit) zip parameter and a (alphanumeric) town parameter.

Sending data in a format not matching the used version should therefore result in a HTTP/1.1 400

Also, getting the data will provide JSON data accordingly.

Internal storage is considered to always have two fields.

Additionally, there is one simple /hello resource available, which did not change between versions, but is available in both.

GET /address { address: "10243 Berlin" } POST /address address=10243+Berlin 

GET /address { zip: "10243", town: "Berlin" } POST /address zip=10243&town=Berlin 

GET /hello { hello: "world" } 

/apiurl/v1/address 

versus

/apiurl/v2/address 

/apiheader/address 

with

X-API-Version: 1.0 

versus

X-API-Version: 2.0 

/apiaccept/address 

with

Accept: application/vnd.company.app-v1+json 

versus

Accept: application/vnd.company.app-v2+json
