Top 23 Go Web Framework Projects

• Gin

  13 46,095 6.7 Go

  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.

  Project mention: HandleFunc vs Handle | reddit.com/r/golang | 2021-02-23

  At that point you may start looking at some of the larger frameworks out there like gorilla, gin, fiber, etc. Only because they have built-in functionality for those sort of things (i.e. logging middleware), and you may find it easier to work with.

• httprouter

  2 12,421 3.2 Go

  A high performance HTTP request router that scales well

  Project mention: Choosing building blocks to move faster | dev.to | 2021-02-01

  Another common reason to decide against using an existing component is when it doesn't satisfy your requirements. For this project, I needed to prioritize the performance of the web server, and so I knew I needed an HTTP framework that performed well across a number of benchmarks, but I also needed some unusual capabilities such as being able to swap out the router in real-time. In the end, I decided on a hybrid approach for the web server, choosing to build a custom framework around the well-loved httprouter, which granted the majority of what I needed, and had some extremely well thought-out integration points that made it easy for me to build on top of it. In the case of the message bus, I also had a requirement of decentralization, which the majority of available projects are not.

• Revel

  1 12,161 2.0 Go

  A high productivity, full-stack web framework for the Go language.

  Project mention: Any way of reducing the verbosity at the web development with Go? | reddit.com/r/golang | 2021-01-11

  Of course there are options that make your work a lot less frustrating. From your choice of tools, you're probably trying to setup your architecture yourself but if that's not a necessity for you, you can tap into community frameworks that have basic features wired. There is Revel https://github.com/revel/revel A Rails alternative in Go.

• Fiber

  13 11,850 9.8 Go

  ⚡️ Express inspired web framework written in Go

  Project mention: First Golang REST API | reddit.com/r/golang | 2021-02-20

• chi

  9 8,962 6.6 Go

  lightweight, idiomatic and composable router for building Go HTTP services

  Project mention: Release v5.0.0 · go-chi/chi | reddit.com/r/golang | 2021-02-27

  To me, software is art, and I intentionally spent so much time to craft chi to the create a router with the absolute best ergonomics and developer experience. With forced-SIV, I'm unable to fulfill this purpose and now feel deeply uninspired. If proposal 44550 is rejected, I will most likely archive go-chi/chi and create a new repository at go-chi/mux and start from v0 and never leave it. https://github.com/go-chi/chi/issues/561#issuecomment-787462275

• negroni

  0 6,915 2.6 Go

  Idiomatic HTTP Middleware for Golang

• GoSwagger

  2 6,151 7.7 Go

  Swagger 2.0 implementation for go

  Project mention: SwaggerUI with Golang | reddit.com/r/golang | 2021-03-02

  A lot of the benefits of swagger come from code and yaml generation. So you can take a look at something like go-swagger and use that to generate client code and server boilerplate from your yaml. Another way around is you can have the swagger yaml or json be generated from docstrings in the code (but that wouldn't be design first I guess). I have an example of that here if you want to look. Just pop open any of the files that starts with a get/post/put/etc.

  Simple middleware to rate-limit HTTP requests.

  Project mention: Ways to Rate Limit Requests in Go | dev.to | 2021-01-12

• CORS

  3 1,759 0.9 Go

  Go net/http configurable handler to handle CORS requests (by rs)

  Project mention: I had a Go, CORS and Single Page App Ordeal So You Don’t Have To | Integration Junction | reddit.com/r/golang | 2021-02-22

  It might be a function of the fact that the project had a hand crafted main rather than using the generated one, but when I hit this for adding CORS to a go-swagger project we used a handler generated by rs/cors as middleware - it (and a bunch of other middleware) wrapped the generated server's handler as go-swagger uses one root handler.
