Gin Web Framework

Gin is a web framework written in Go. It features a martini-like API with performance that is up to 40 times faster thanks to httprouter. If you need performance and good productivity, you will love Gin.

The key features of Gin are:

• Zero allocation router
• Fast
• Middleware support
• Crash-free
• JSON validation
• Routes grouping
• Error management
• Rendering built-in
• Extendable

Getting started

Prerequisites

• Go: any one of the three latest major releases (we test it with these).

Getting Gin

With Go module support, simply add the following import

import "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"

to your code, and then go [build|run|test] will automatically fetch the necessary dependencies.

Otherwise, run the following Go command to install the gin package:

$ go get -u github.com/gin-gonic/gin

Running Gin

First you need to import Gin package for using Gin, one simplest example likes the follow example.go:

package main

import (
  "net/http"

  "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

func main() {
  r := gin.Default()
  r.GET("/ping", func(c *gin.Context) {
    c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{
      "message": "pong",
    })
  })
  r.Run() // listen and serve on 0.0.0.0:8080 (for windows "localhost:8080")
}

And use the Go command to run the demo:

# run example.go and visit 0.0.0.0:8080/ping on browser
$ go run example.go

• (1): Total Repetitions achieved in constant time, higher means more confident result
• (2): Single Repetition Duration (ns/op), lower is better
• (3): Heap Memory (B/op), lower is better
• (4): Average Allocations per Repetition (allocs/op), lower is better
