Forms

One of the ways to send user data between client and server is via Forms. Forms is a protocol convention that includes a specific formats based on HTTP Content-Type header previusly defined. There are two options:

Content-Type	Raw Body
multipart/form-data	Content-Disposition: form-data; name="foo" bar
application/x-www-form-urlencoded	foo=bar

After parsing form, its possible to access them using context.Form (check how to parse params in the following section). context.Form its a map[string]interface{} with functions like Exists() or Get() that provides secure API.

Parsing forms

To use data from Forms, it must first be parsed calling context.ParseForm(). Then, all the params will be accessible from context.Form (a map of string and interface{}):

/** 
	Handling:
	- GET 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' request to '/hello' with body 'foo=bar'
	- POST 'multipart/form-data' request to '/hello' with body 'Content-Disposition: form-data; name="foo" bar'
*/ 
if err := ctx.ParseForm(); err != nil {
	// catch error
}

foo, _ := ctx.Form.Get("foo") // get foo value safely
fmt.Println(foo) // prints form foo field value
fmt.Println(ctx.Form["foo"]) // or get value like a map
