gogogo

fast and simple http routing. written in go.

About

At it's core gogogo is a fast simple http router. It matches requests to handlers by using a Trie data structure. Typically this approach scales well.

As a bonus, gogogo will parse url params as it routes requests.

Best of all gogogo let's you keep your standard http handlers!

Usage

func createHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
  // ...
}

func idHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
  id := req.FormValue("id")
  // get :id url param then ...
}

func main() {

  // create router instance
  r := gogogo.NewRouter()

  // let's add a create handler for our resource
  r.HandleFunc("/resources/", createHanlder, "POST")

  // you can add multiple methods to a handler
  r.HandleFunc("/resources/:id", idHandler, "GET", "PUT", "DELETE")

  http.ListenAndServe(":8000", r)
}
