  chai is an extension for a few popular http routers (chi, gorilla/mux) that adds support for type safe http handlers via Go 1.18's generics. This allows it to also generate a swagger spec by automatically detecting the request/response types, http methods, route paths and path params.

  I hate this pattern too but there's not "no good reason", there's a specific reason why it's like this, and it's a conscious design choice.

  When you call `go get somedomain.com/whatever/thing`, what it does is makes an HTTP request to that URL, then looks for a `` tag on the page telling it where to download the module. Check out the source of any Go project on github and you'll find the relevant `` tag. Here's the meta tag for the gorilla router, a common http routing library:

  Eli Bendersky has an excellent series where they walk you through building a REST API in Go by first starting with the standard library and then introducing a router such as gorilla or chi and finally switching over to using a complete web framework. This series shows some of the downsides of sticking with the standard library entirely and how extra libraries such as the two router packages above can be extremely helpful.

  I recommend gorilla/mux (https://github.com/gorilla/mux), a most widely used http router library and go-doudou (https://github.com/unionj-cloud/go-doudou) RESTful microservice framework based on it. Go-doudou supports developing monolith service as well. It's also a code generator cli which can generate main function, routes, http handlers, mock service implementation, http client, OpenAPI 3.0 json spec and more to let you deploy your awesome projects as soon as possible.
