This package can parse a string with a version number.

It can take a string with a version number and parses it to extract the version details.

The class can extract the version major, minor, and patch numbers and the next major, next minor, and following patch numbers.

It can also normalize version strings to reformat strings that may not comply with semver version specification.

Many software projects use a convention to number the project version numbers called semver.

This conversion splits the version numbers into three parts: major version, minor version, and patch number.

This possibility helps developers determine if the current version they are using is more recent or older than some other version.

This package parses version string numbers in a way that tolerates variations like putting a v in the front of the version, using needless zero characters before the version number parts, or even missing minor or patch numbers.

It can also normalize the version number strings to comply more with the semver convention.
