Go-Json-Rest is a thin Go library on top of net/http for quickly building RESTful JSON APIs. It provides Trie-based routing, JSON request/response helpers, and a middleware stack for CORS, auth, gzip, logging, and more.

Use cases

• build a restful json api in go
• set up json endpoints with routing and middleware
• add cors and basic auth to a go http server
• serve a json api alongside static files
• version a rest api in go

When to choose

• you want a lightweight, minimal REST framework on top of net/http
• you need built-in middlewares like CORS, auth, gzip, and access logging
• you want fast Trie-based URL routing for JSON APIs

When to avoid

• you need an actively developed framework with modern Go module support
• you want a full-featured framework with dependency injection or code generation
• you are building GraphQL or gRPC services instead of REST
