• mux

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

  

  I use (and love) gorilla/mux as well as julienschmidt/httprouter. They are both on the "lightweight" end of the spectrum. Nothing (to my knowledge) beats the performance of julienschmidt/httprouter, but routing isn't going to be your main bottleneck anyway, so I don't think it matters too much. If you wanted to get started with gorilla, gowebexamples.com is a nice starting point.
