• gorilla-mux

  1 1 10.0 Go

  A fork of gorilla/mux, the powerful HTTP router and URL matcher for building Go web servers with 🦍

  gorilla/mux is at least more battle-tested. I'd rather fork it myself, or evaluate a useful fork of it such as this one (if it seems well-maintained, I haven't done the leg-work).

• waggy

  8 36 10.0 Go

  The dead simple, easy-to-use library for writing HTTP handlers and routers in Go that can be used in standard HTTP server environments or in WAGI (Web Assembly Gateway Interface) environments

  For work, we’ve switched to Chi. For personal projects, I use a router I’ve been built and have been working on myself

• Fiber

  34 26,542 9.6 Go

  ⚡️ Express inspired web framework written in Go

  

  I'm still using gorilla for projects that started off with gorilla, but for newer projects I've been moving towards fiber and I actually quite like it

• rootdown

  1 1 0.0 Go

  The internet demanded another Go router

  There’s only one router named after a Beastie Boys song, so it’s pretty obvious which one to use. https://github.com/carlmjohnson/rootdown

• jwtauth

  1 450 0.0 Go

  JWT authentication middleware for Go HTTP services

  

  It's difficult to assess their security response because it doesn't seem that they've had any CVEs. A different project by the go-chi maintainers, jwtauth, did have to address moving away from a vulnerable dependency, which took them almost 3 months to fix. So, not ideal - but jwtauth isn't as active or used anywhere near as much as chi itself, so doesn't necessarily reflect their responsiveness to a chi vulnerability.

• Gin

  62 69,003 9.1 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.

  

  I found this article about someone who evaluated Gorilla Mux replacements and chose Chi, which may be helpful. FWIW I did some of my own investigation and I'm leaning towards Gin, since it's more performant which is a factor for my current usecase.
