    Abstract: During operation, the system receives a request, via a REST API, for data stored in a database which uses a schema associated with a current version, wherein the request indicates a version of the REST API. Responsive to determining that the indicated version is a prior version of the REST API which does not correspond to the current version of the database schema, the system: dispatches the request to a translation proxy; applies rules which converts the request to indicate an updated REST API version corresponding to the current version of the schema; obtains results from the database based on the converted request and the applied rules; and returns the results, wherein the prior version of the REST API comprises an old version and wherein the current version of the schema comprises a new version, which enables functionality from the new version to work with the old version.
