   API Versioning in Laravel 11

   Laravel 11 has streamlined its application skeleton by removing unnecessary service providers and default API routes. If you need to set up an API, you can use the `php artisan install:api` command to configure routes and necessary files. For API versioning, you can either add versioned routes in separate files like `routes/api_v1.php` and `routes/api_v2.php`, or configure them directly in the `bootstrap/app.php` file. This article provides step-by-step instructions for both methods to keep your routes organized.
