Installation

The only requirement is the Go Programming Language, at least version 1.9

$ go get -u github.com/go-siris/siris

Siris uses the vendor directory feature, so you get truly reproducible builds, as this method guards against upstream renames and deletes.

package main

Third Party Middleware

See THIRD-PARTY-MIDDLEWARE.md

Testing

The httptest package is your way for end-to-end HTTP testing, it uses the httpexpect library created by our friend, gavv.

A simple test is located to intermediate/httptest/main_test.go

Philosophy

The Siris philosophy is to provide robust tooling for HTTP, making it a great solution for single page applications, web sites, hybrids, or public HTTP APIs.

Siris does not force you to use any specific ORM or template engine. With support for the most popular template engines, you can quickly craft your perfect application.

People

The original author of Iris is @kataras. Before we forked to Siris.

However the real Success of Siris belongs to you with your bug reports and feature requests that made this Framework so Unique.

Version

Current: 7.4.0

Each new release is pushed to the master. It stays there until the next version. When a next version is released then the previous version goes to its own branch with gopkg.in as its import path (and its own vendor folder), in order to keep it working "for-ever".

Community members can request additional features or report a bug fix for a specific siris version.

Should I upgrade my Siris?

Developers are not forced to use the latest Siris version, they can use any version in production, they can update at any time they want.

Testers should upgrade immediately, if you're willing to use Siris in production you can wait a little more longer, transaction should be as safe as possible.

Where can I find older versions?

Each Siris version is independent. Only bug fixes, Router's API and experience are kept.

Previous versions can be found at releases page.

Previous Iris versions are archived at iris archive
