I'm doing some new work using the YouTube API. I know there are two versions, v2 and v3, but I can't find the differences anywhere. What are the differences?
I know v3 is labeled "experimental". But:
- What's better about it?
- Other than being experimental, what's worse about it?
- Will v2 be phased out?
- For new dev work, should I use v2 or v3
Some answers (in my opinion ..)
What's better about it?
- Search videos, channels and playlists using freebase topics

Other than being experimental, what's worse about it?
- Changes in API calls that you use in your app
For new dev work, should I use v2 or v3
- I think the answer depends on what your application should do and the type of application
