gomvc - a tiny MVC web framework

This is a simple MVC-ish web framework, which is basically a small wrapper around Go's net/http.

Key features

Ease of use, lack of clutter, and a very simple way to quickly define actions and parameters without extra routing and configuration files: a function declaration is enough.

Compare using net/http, beego, and gomvc to implement a simple user search page:

// gomvc
func (c *Home) UserSearch(name string, age int) gomvc.View {
	user := findByNameAndAge(name, age)
	return c.View(user)
}

func main() {
	gomvc.Route("/", &Home{})
	gomvc.Run(":8088", true)
}

// net/http
func userSearch(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	name := r.URL.Query().Get("name")
	age, _ := strconv.Atoi(r.URL.Query().Get("age"))
	user := findByNameAndAge(name, age)
	t, _ := template.ParseFiles("usersearch.html")
	t.Execute(w, user)
}

func main() {
	http.HandleFunc("/user-search", userSearch)
	http.ListenAndServe(":8088", nil)
}

// beego
func (this *MainController) Get() {
	name := this.GetString("name")
	age := int(this.GetInt("age"))
	user := findByNameAndAge(name, age)
	this.Data["user"] = user
}

func main() {
	beego.Router("/user-search", &MainController{})
	beego.Run()
}
