Description
How to Use
1. Send a POST with a JSON body containing a `versions` array of version strings.
2. The response includes the versions sorted from lowest to highest, plus `min` and `max`.
3. For two-version comparisons, check the `comparison` field for a human-readable result.
About This Tool
Semver Comparator takes a list of version strings, sorts them according to PEP 440 / semantic versioning rules, and identifies the minimum and maximum versions. When exactly two versions are provided, it also returns a direct comparison result (e.g. `"1.0.0 < 2.0.0"`).
Pre-release versions (alpha, beta, rc) are sorted correctly — they always come before their corresponding release.
Why Use This Tool
- Release management — Sort release tags to find the latest version
- Dependency auditing — Compare installed vs. required versions
- CI/CD gates — Validate that a new version is greater than the current release
- Changelog generation — Order versions for release notes
