First version of an [[API]] is never perfect. All the time there is a need to evolve, extend use-cases and provider more functionality. Doing this in [[BackwardCompatible]] way ensures that usages of previous version of the [[API]] still remains valid and greatly reduces [[Cost of Ownership]] and turns the [[API]] into [[Good Technology|good one]]. The [[APIDesignPatterns]] listed in this category are well suited for [[Evolution]]:
