Goji is a minimalistic web framework for Go that values composability and simplicity, in the Sinatra/Flask school of design. It is compatible with net/http, offers URL routing patterns and a reconfigurable middleware stack, and has been superseded by goji.io.

Use cases

• build a minimal REST API in Go
• route HTTP requests with Sinatra-style URL patterns
• add middleware to a net/http compatible Go web server
• gracefully shut down or zero-downtime reload a Go web service
• serve a small web application without a heavyweight framework

When to choose

• you want a tiny, composable framework that stays close to net/http
• you prefer Sinatra/Flask-style minimalism over Rails/Django conventions
• you need graceful shutdown and Einhorn/systemd integration

When to avoid

• starting a new project - the author recommends goji.io instead
• you want batteries-included features like sessions, ORM, or templating
• you need a framework with an actively evolving ecosystem
