# Compatibility matrix

API methods compatibility

When it comes to a code base which should support multiple platform versions, which APIs obviously changes with time and not aligned together, it can be a challenge maintaining-wise.

Luckily, authentication methods are isolated and pretty static and HTTP client is generic for any SharePoint API consumption, no-matter REST, CSOM, or legacy SOAP are intended to be used.

On the other side, the most of the help for a Go developer might come from Fluent API as it self-documented or intuitive usage-wise, covers mostly demanded use-cases, and abstracts most of the API nuances and complexity under the hood so a Go developer should not know lots of SharePoint since start. In most of the cases, when it come to a method which only supported let's say in SharePoint Online we put a special comment spotlighting versions support nuances. But a comment can be easily missed out. We plan to introduce sort of a tool for analysis unsupported methods in a custom code using Gosip Fluent API which verify that only supported methods are used for a targeted platform, this might happen in future in case of a reasonable demand. Until then we recommend manual verification of the methods and API entities support across the platform versions using [sp-metadata](https://github.com/koltyakov/sp-metadata) project.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://go.spflow.com/utilits/compatibility-matrix.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
