Semantic Versioning

  Semantic Versioning provides tools to automatically validate if your project's version number follows Semantic Versioning principles as defined by {{{http://semver.org}Semantic Versioning}}.

* CLI overview

  The CLI has the following functionality:
  
  * {{{./usage.html}Diff}} between two specifed JARs

  * {{{./usage.html}Check}} compatibility type between two specifed JARs

  * {{{./usage.html}Infer}} correct version of your JAR based on an previous version

  * {{{./usage.html}Validate}} if your JAR's version is compatible with a previous one
 
  []

* API overview

  Semantic Versioning also provides an API for programmatically validating your project's version number.  This API is used by 
  {{{../enforcer-rule} the maven enforcer rule}}. If these tool is not sufficient to your needs, then
  the entry point to the API is {{{./apidocs/org/semver/Checker.html}Checker}}.
