Moving toward Joomla >4

[cappuccinonet]

I love com_api! I would use it for a large project but do not know how future proof it will be.
Are there any plans to embrace namespaces and service providers, which seems to be mandatory in Joomla 6 (2025)?

Has anybody tested com_api with Joomla 5 already?

Unfortunatly no. Do you have any news how to migrate to J5 or is there maybe an other approach @cappuccinonet?

Anyone testet the J4 branch from @vaibhavsTekdi?
Anyone has played around with the new web services API? Is this a possible solution?

Maybe switching to another approach is the right way to go?

@MarcelSchuermann I ended up creating a Joomla component and a Joomla web service plugin for all my APIs. Checkout https://docs.joomla.org/J4.x:Adding_an_API_to_a_Joomla_Component and https://www.dionysopoulos.me/book/com-api.html
