  • mux

    Discontinued A powerful HTTP router and URL matcher for building Go web servers with 🦍

  • Favourite's hard to define, standard library can be a bit bare bones (you need to reinvent the wheel a few times for common tasks) and gorilla/mux can be a bit bloated (it's as close as "batteries included" as you're going to get)

  • chi

    lightweight, idiomatic and composable router for building Go HTTP services

  • For me, the middle ground is best, chi, gin, httprouter are the sweetspot. But that's based on skills, style, and requirements (and experience - I've used all the ones I have mentioned in anger)

  • WorkOS

    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

    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.
