what's your recommended router? chi, mux, something else?

• httprouter

  37 16,263 5.3 Go

  A high performance HTTP request router that scales well

But, if you care about speed take a look at httprouter. That's the one we're using in our company. It's fast but the biggest downsides for me are:

• waggy

  8 38 3.0 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

Chi for work, my own router for personal projects

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• Gin

  152 75,354 8.5 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.

  

• restruct

  7 15 5.7 Go

  RESTruct is a rest router written in Go to automatically create routes based on your structs. (by altlimit)

  

For me it's mux and my personal router restruct but since mux is not maintained anymore, maybe chi will be my goto for new projects that needs more stability in the api. Since restruct is a router based on structs, which I use for fast prototyping.

• chi

  101 17,050 7.2 Go

  lightweight, idiomatic and composable router for building Go HTTP services

  

I don't use chi anymore ever since this happened.

• oapi-codegen

  63 5,178 9.1 Go

  Generate Go client and server boilerplate from OpenAPI 3 specifications

  

I use oapi-codegen with Echo

• Echo

  122 28,466 8.0 Go

  High performance, minimalist Go web framework

  

echo! It's really easy it to use for simple routes but you can as well define routing groups as I did here.
