Basic Example

The following program will create a Server listening on port 8080. It will respond to incoming GET requests to the '/hello-world' path.

func main() {
	server := simplehttp.NewServer(8080)

	server.Get("/hello-world", func(req simplehttp.Request, res *simplehttp.Response) error {
		res.SetHtml("<h1>Hello, world!</h1>")
		return nil
	})

	err := server.Start()
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("There was an error starting the server:", err)
	}
}
