mux
A powerful HTTP router and URL matcher for building Go web servers with 🦍 (by gorilla)
Gin
Gin is a HTTP web framework written in Go (Golang). It features a Martini-like API with much better performance -- up to 40 times faster. If you need smashing performance, get yourself some Gin. (by gin-gonic)

How AuDHD traits have helped me get good at devrel
This attention to detail also can mean that for key abstractions in a tool or framework, what concretely goes on doesn't go unexplained. For example, when I was learning Go for web development, my first stumbling block was understanding how interfaces worked, particularly http.Handler, which is key to doing web development with Go's powerful net/http package and the fits-like-a-glove package built on top of it, the Gorilla Mux router. My way of finding out how that worked, and seeing the elegance of that interface, was pretty unorthodox - I figured out how Handlers worked by looking directly at Go's source code (which also is a demonstration of Go's readability, if you're interested in joining the Gophers!). And coming out of that was my very first tech talk at in 2015, on learning Gorilla from its Node.js counterpart, Express.js!

How to build an API using Go
Now that we have set up the Go environment, we can start building our API. The first step is to choose a framework. There are several popular frameworks for building APIs in Go, such as Gorilla mux, Echo, and Gin. For this article, we'll use Gorilla mux.

I've just started learning Golang, and I'm struggling to choose a framework.
My personal favorite tools: - https://github.com/go-kit/ for building services (although it's not necessary a great tool for prototyping) - https://github.com/gorilla/mux router (although it's been recently deprecated, so I'm looking for a similar, maintained library) - https://entgo.io/ ORM - https://watermill.io/ for messaging

Password-less Login in Go from Scratch
We will be using Gorilla Mux. As per their last update, they have a new group of maintainers, and their repos have shown activity to confirm that. The tutorial can be easily replicated in any other framework or library as well. So, while we will be using Gorilla Mux, you can try to replicate it in Gin or Fiber as well.
