What's a good organization for Java code that works with an external API that is changing each version?
<p>Specifically, there is a JSON RPC API that I work with. The specification might change between the API's versions, but I can always tell what version it is when I connect. I have about 30 wrappers methods that make use of the available JSON RPC methods.</p>

<p>Do you insert switch statements wherever you see changes in a way something should be called? Or write completely new methods to make it easier to manage, even if most of the API's functions didn't change and your code doesn't have to change?</p>

<p><strong>EDIT</strong>: I forgot to mention I want my code to work with <strong>multiple versions</strong> of this API, ie. I can't just update my code to work with version 2.0 because I may want to use it on a different server that provides this service whose version is 1.8.</p>
