title: Is it bad practice to put a period in a URI path?
body: <p>I am designing a REST API for a web application. I want to clearly version the API, so that the interface can be changed in the future without breaking existing services. So in my v1.0 API, I want to clearly identify it as the v1.0 API, leaving me the freedom to release a future v1.1 version with breaking changes.</p>
  
  <p>My question is, would a period in the path component of a URI be bad practice? </p>
  
  <p>eg. Is there any good reason not to use <a href="http://example.com/myapi/v1.0/services" rel="noreferrer">http://example.com/myapi/v1.0/services</a> as a URI to my service?</p>
