Subversion

Apache Subversion (SVN) is a centralized version control system that tracks changes to files and directories over time. It supports atomic commits, directory versioning, cheap branching and tagging, merge tracking, and binary file handling. SVN is served over HTTP/HTTPS using the WebDAV/DeltaV protocol via mod_dav_svn, or over a custom protocol using svnserve.

Subversion publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Commits API, Files API, History API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Apache, Open-Source, Repository, Source Control, and Svn.

The Subversion catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Subversion’s developer surface includes authentication, getting-started guide, FAQ, GitHub presence, and 12 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/svn: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
