Would it be better to use Frameworks or not ?

• chi

  101 17,159 7.1 Go

  lightweight, idiomatic and composable router for building Go HTTP services

  

If you purely build a rest api using core modules will get you pretty far. There are multiple small wrappers out there that provide better routing and possibly a nicer api. As an example https://github.com/go-chi/chi is only 1K LOC and compatible with handleFunc.

• Echo

  123 28,568 8.0 Go

  High performance, minimalist Go web framework

  

I tried once to only use the standard library for a REST-like api and ended removing all that code and replacing it with a framework (Echo in my case) once i noticed that all that those thousands lines of code that i wrote to handle errors, requests, responses, validations, etc were almost the same to the ones you could find it those frameworks.
