Spring Framework 7 introduces native API versioning support through a new version attribute in @RequestMapping annotations. The framework provides multiple versioning strategies including request header, path segment, query parameter, and media type parameter approaches. Developers can configure versioning either through annotation-based WebMvcConfigurer implementations or property-based configuration in application.properties. The feature includes built-in components for version resolution, parsing (supporting semantic versioning), validation, and deprecation handling to maintain backward compatibility while evolving APIs.
