+## API Reference
+
+### `compare`
+
+Compares two semantic version strings according to SemVer 2.0.0 specification
+
+Supports:
+- Core version: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
+- Pre-release: -alpha, -beta.1, -rc.1, etc.
+- Build metadata: +build, +sha.abc123 (ignored in comparison per spec)
+- Optional 'v' prefix
+
+```typescript
+import { compare } from '@helpers4/version';
+
+compare(version1: string, version2: string): number
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `version1: string` — First version string
+- `version2: string` — Second version string
+
+**Returns:** `number` — -1 if version1 < version2, 0 if equal, 1 if version1 > version2
+
+**Examples:**
+
+*Compare two semver versions*
+
+Returns -1, 0, or 1 based on SemVer ordering.
+
+```typescript
+compare('1.0.0', '2.0.0') // => -1
+compare('1.0.0', '1.0.0') // => 0
+compare('2.0.0', '1.0.0') // => 1
+```
+
+*Prerelease is lower than release*
+
+A prerelease version is always less than the release.
+
+```typescript
+compare('1.0.0-alpha', '1.0.0')
+// => -1
+```
+
+---
+
+### `increment`
+
+Increments a semantic version
+
+```typescript
+import { increment } from '@helpers4/version';
+
+increment(version: string, type: "major" | "minor" | "patch"): string
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `version: string` — The version to increment
+- `type: "major" | "minor" | "patch"` — The increment type ('major', 'minor', 'patch')
+
+**Returns:** `string` — Incremented version string
+
+```typescript
+import { increment } from '@helpers4/version';
+
+increment(version: undefined, type: "major" | "minor" | "patch"): undefined
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `version: undefined` — The version to increment
+- `type: "major" | "minor" | "patch"` — The increment type ('major', 'minor', 'patch')
+
+**Returns:** `undefined` — Incremented version string
+
+```typescript
+import { increment } from '@helpers4/version';
+
+increment(version: null, type: "major" | "minor" | "patch"): null
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `version: null` — The version to increment
+- `type: "major" | "minor" | "patch"` — The increment type ('major', 'minor', 'patch')
+
+**Returns:** `null` — Incremented version string
+
+**Examples:**
+
+*Increment the patch version*
+
+Bumps the patch number while keeping major and minor.
+
+```typescript
+increment('1.2.3', 'patch')
+// => '1.2.4'
+```
+
+*Increment the minor version*
+
+Bumps the minor number and resets patch to 0.
+
+```typescript
+increment('1.2.3', 'minor')
+// => '1.3.0'
+```
+
+*Preserve the v prefix*
+
+The v prefix is preserved if present in the input.
+
+```typescript
+increment('v1.0.0', 'major')
+// => 'v2.0.0'
+```
+
+---
+
+### `isPrerelease`
+
+Returns `true` when the version string has a prerelease suffix
+(i.e. contains a `-` after the core `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`).
+
+```typescript
+import { isPrerelease } from '@helpers4/version';
+
+isPrerelease(version: string): boolean
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `version: string` — A semantic version string (e.g. `'2.0.0-alpha.1'`, `'1.0.0'`).
+
+**Returns:** `boolean` — `true` if the version is a prerelease, `false` otherwise.
+
+```typescript
+import { isPrerelease } from '@helpers4/version';
+
+isPrerelease(version: ParsedVersion): boolean
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `version: ParsedVersion` — A ParsedVersion object (as returned by parse).
+
+**Returns:** `boolean` — `true` if `version.prerelease` is non-empty, `false` otherwise.
+
+```typescript
+import { isPrerelease } from '@helpers4/version';
+
+isPrerelease(version: undefined): undefined
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `version: undefined` — A semantic version string (e.g. `'2.0.0-alpha.1'`, `'1.0.0'`).
+
+**Returns:** `undefined` — `true` if the version is a prerelease, `false` otherwise.
+
+```typescript
+import { isPrerelease } from '@helpers4/version';
+
+isPrerelease(version: null): null
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `version: null` — A semantic version string (e.g. `'2.0.0-alpha.1'`, `'1.0.0'`).
+
+**Returns:** `null` — `true` if the version is a prerelease, `false` otherwise.
+
+**Examples:**
+
+*Detect a prerelease version*
+
+Returns true for any version string that contains a prerelease suffix.
+
+```typescript
+isPrerelease('2.0.0-alpha.1') // true
+isPrerelease('1.0.0-rc.0')   // true
+```
+
+*Stable versions return false*
+
+Returns false when the version has no prerelease suffix.
+
+```typescript
+isPrerelease('1.0.0') // false
+isPrerelease('2.1.3') // false
+```
+
+*Accept a ParsedVersion object*
+
+Works with the result of parse() — checks the prerelease array instead of string matching.
+
+```typescript
+isPrerelease(parse('2.0.0-alpha.1')) // true
+isPrerelease(parse('1.0.0'))         // false
+```
+

+
+### `parse`
+
+Parses a semantic version string into its components according to SemVer 2.0.0 specification
+
+Supports:
+- Core version: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
+- Pre-release: -alpha, -beta.1, -rc.1, -0.3.7, -x.7.z.92
+- Build metadata: +build, +sha.abc123, +20130313144700
+- Optional 'v' prefix (commonly used in git tags)
+
+```typescript
+import { parse } from '@helpers4/version';
+
+parse(version: string): ParsedVersion
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `version: string` — Version string to parse
+
+**Returns:** `ParsedVersion` — Parsed version object with major, minor, patch, prerelease, and build
+
+```typescript
+import { parse } from '@helpers4/version';
+
+parse(version: undefined): undefined
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `version: undefined` — Version string to parse
+
+**Returns:** `undefined` — Parsed version object with major, minor, patch, prerelease, and build
+
+```typescript
+import { parse } from '@helpers4/version';
+
+parse(version: null): null
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `version: null` — Version string to parse
+
+**Returns:** `null` — Parsed version object with major, minor, patch, prerelease, and build
+
+**Examples:**
+
+*Parse a semver string*
+
+Breaks a semantic version string into its components.
+
+```typescript
+parse('1.2.3')
+// => { major: 1, minor: 2, patch: 3, prerelease: [], build: [] }
+```
+
+*Parse a prerelease version*
+
+Handles prerelease identifiers and optional v prefix.
+
+```typescript
+parse('v2.0.0-alpha.1')
+// => { major: 2, minor: 0, patch: 0, prerelease: ['alpha', '1'], build: [] }
+```
+
+---
+
+### `satisfiesRange`
+
+Checks if a version satisfies a range (simple implementation)
+
+```typescript
+import { satisfiesRange } from '@helpers4/version';
+
+satisfiesRange(version: string, range: string): boolean
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `version: string` — Version to check
+- `range: string` — Range pattern (e.g., ">=1.0.0", "~1.2.0", "^1.0.0")
+
+**Returns:** `boolean` — True if version satisfies the range
+
+**Examples:**
+
+*Check caret range*
+
+Caret (^) allows patch and minor updates within the same major.
+
+```typescript
+satisfiesRange('1.2.3', '^1.0.0')
+// => true
+```
+
+*Check greater-than-or-equal range*
+
+The >= operator checks if the version is at least the specified value.
+
+```typescript
+satisfiesRange('2.0.0', '>=1.5.0')
+// => true
+```
+
+*Out of range*
+
+Returns false when the version does not satisfy the range.
+
+```typescript
+satisfiesRange('0.9.0', '>=1.0.0')
+// => false
+```
+
+---
+
+### `stringify`
+
+Reconstruct a semantic version string from a ParsedVersion object.
+
+This is the inverse of parse:
+`stringify(parse(v)) === stripV(v)` for any valid SemVer string `v`.
+
+```typescript
+import { stringify } from '@helpers4/version';
+
+stringify(parsed: ParsedVersion): string
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `parsed: ParsedVersion` — A parsed semantic version object.
+
+**Returns:** `string` — The reconstructed version string (without leading `v`).
+
+```typescript
+import { stringify } from '@helpers4/version';
+
+stringify(parsed: undefined): undefined
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `parsed: undefined` — A parsed semantic version object.
+
+**Returns:** `undefined` — The reconstructed version string (without leading `v`).
+
+```typescript
+import { stringify } from '@helpers4/version';
+
+stringify(parsed: null): null
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `parsed: null` — A parsed semantic version object.
+
+**Returns:** `null` — The reconstructed version string (without leading `v`).
+
+**Examples:**
+
+*Reconstruct a stable version*
+
+Converts a ParsedVersion object back to a version string.
+
+```typescript
+stringify({ major: 1, minor: 2, patch: 3, prerelease: [], build: [] })
+// => '1.2.3'
+```
+
+*Round-trip with parse*
+
+stringify(parse(v)) returns the original version string (without leading v).
+
+```typescript
+stringify(parse('2.0.0-alpha.1'))
+// => '2.0.0-alpha.1'
+
+stringify(parse('1.0.0-beta+exp.sha.5114f85'))
+// => '1.0.0-beta+exp.sha.5114f85'
+```
+
+---
+
+### `stripV`
+
+Strip the leading "v" from a version string if it exists.
+
+```typescript
+import { stripV } from '@helpers4/version';
+
+stripV(version: string): string
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `version: string` — The version string to process
+
+**Returns:** `string` — The version string without leading "v", or the original value if it's not a string or doesn't start with "v"
+
+```typescript
+import { stripV } from '@helpers4/version';
+
+stripV(version: null): null
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `version: null` — The version string to process
+
+**Returns:** `null` — The version string without leading "v", or the original value if it's not a string or doesn't start with "v"
+
+```typescript
+import { stripV } from '@helpers4/version';
+
+stripV(version: undefined): undefined
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `version: undefined` — The version string to process
+
+**Returns:** `undefined` — The version string without leading "v", or the original value if it's not a string or doesn't start with "v"
+
+**Examples:**
+
+*Remove v prefix from a version string*
+
+Strips the leading "v" from a git tag-style version string.
+
+```typescript
+stripV('v1.2.3')
+// => '1.2.3'
+```
+
+*No-op when there is no v prefix*
+
+Returns the string unchanged when it does not start with "v".
+
+```typescript
+stripV('1.2.3')
+// => '1.2.3'
+```
