469+ - ` getDeprecationMessage(): ?string ` - Get deprecation message
470+ - ` getSunsetDate(): ?string ` - Get sunset date
471+ - ` getReplacedByVersion(): ?string ` - Get replacement version
472+
473+ ** Version Comparison:**
474+ - ` isVersionGreaterThan(string $version): bool `
475+ - ` isVersionGreaterThanOrEqual(string $version): bool `
476+ - ` isVersionLessThan(string $version): bool `
477+ - ` isVersionLessThanOrEqual(string $version): bool `
478+ - ` isVersionBetween(string $min, string $max): bool `
479+
480+ ** Direct VersionComparator Usage:**
481+ ``` php
482+ use ShahGhasiAdil\LaravelApiVersioning\Services\VersionComparator;
483+
484+ $comparator = app(VersionComparator::class);
485+
486+ // Comparisons

488+ $comparator->equals('2.0', '2.0'); // true
489+ $comparator->isBetween('1.5', '1.0', '2.0'); // true
490+
491+ // Array operations
492+ $comparator->getHighest(['1.0', '2.0', '1.5']); // '2.0'
493+ $comparator->getLowest(['1.0', '2.0', '1.5']); // '1.0'
494+ $comparator->sort(['2.0', '1.0', '1.5']); // ['1.0', '1.5', '2.0']
495+
496+ // Constraint satisfaction (composer-style)
497+ $comparator->satisfies('2.1', '>=2.0'); // true
498+ $comparator->satisfies('2.1', '^2.0'); // true (>=2.0 && <3 .0)

460- - Use semantic versioning: ` 1.0 ` , ` 1.1 ` , ` 2.0 `
461- - Leverage version inheritance for backward compatibility
462- - Always provide clear deprecation information with sunset dates
463- - Test all supported versions thoroughly
464- - Keep version-specific logic organized in resources
688+ - ✅ ** Use semantic versioning** - ` 1.0 ` , ` 1.1 ` , ` 2.0 `
689+ - ✅ ** Enable caching in production** - 87% performance improvement
690+ - ✅ ** Leverage version inheritance** - For backward compatibility
691+ - ✅ ** Use version comparison helpers** - Instead of string comparison
692+ - ✅ ** Provide clear deprecation info** - Include sunset dates and replacement versions
693+ - ✅ ** Test all supported versions** - Use ` php artisan api:version:health `
694+ - ✅ ** Implement resource collections** - For consistent pagination
695+ - ✅ ** Use health checks in CI/CD** - Validate configuration automatically
696+ - ✅ ** Clear cache after deployment** - ` php artisan api:cache:clear `
697+ - ✅ ** Monitor with JSON output** - For automated API version tracking
