not-a-web-framework

A baseline for creating web-services in Go (a bit on steroids, but still pretty small). It's not a framework, not even a library. Steal this code instead of making yet another framework out of it! Don't even go get this package. Instead - git clone and merge it with your code base or build your next service on top of it.

The inspiration comes from the blog post Build Your Own Framework in Go.

Which packages are used?

• Alice (github.com/justinas/alice) for middleware (http.Handler chaining)
• Gorilla Context (github.com/gorilla/context) for sharing data between middlewares
• HttpRouter (github.com/julienschmidt/httprouter) for pattern-based request routing
