$ cat example.gopackage main
import "github.com/kataras/iris"
func main() {
app := iris.New()
// Load all templates from the "./views" folder
// where extension is ".html" and parse them
// using the standard `html/template` package.
app.RegisterView(iris.HTML("./views", ".html"))
// Method: GET
// Resource: http://localhost:8080
app.Get("/", func(ctx iris.Context) {
// Bind: {{.message}} with "Hello world!"
ctx.ViewData("message", "Hello world!")
// Render template file: ./views/hello.html
ctx.View("hello.html")
})
// Method: GET
// Resource: http://localhost:8080/user/42
//
// Need to use a custom regexp instead?
// Easy,
// just mark the parameter's type to 'string'
// which accepts anything and make use of
// its `regexp` macro function, i.e:
// app.Get("/user/{id:string regexp(^[0-9]+$)}")
app.Get("/user/{id:long}", func(ctx iris.Context) {
userID, _ := ctx.Params().GetInt64("id")
ctx.Writef("User ID: %d", userID)
})
// Start the server using a network address.
app.Run(iris.Addr(":8080"))

_The only requirement is the Go Programming Language
$ go get -u github.com/kataras/irisIris takes advantage of the vendor directory feature. You get truly reproducible builds, as this method guards against upstream renames and deletes.

First of all, the most correct way to begin with a web framework is to learn the basics of the programming language and the standard http capabilities, if your web application is a very simple personal project without performance and maintainability requirements you may want to proceed just with the standard packages. After that follow the guidelines:
- Navigate through 100+1 examples and some iris starter kits we crafted for you
- Read the godocs for any details
- Prepare a cup of coffee or tea, whatever pleases you the most, and read some articles we found for you

Did you build something similar? Let us know!
Iris has a great collection of handlers[1][2] that you can use side by side with your web apps. However you are not limited to them - you are free to use any third-party middleware that is compatible with the net/http package, _examples/convert-handlers will show you the way.
Iris, unlike others, is 100% compatible with the standards and that's why the majority of the big companies that adapt Go to their workflow, like a very famous US Television Network, trust Iris; it's always up-to-date and it will be aligned with the std net/http package which is modernized by the Go Author on each new release of the Go Programming Language forever.
