## What it is
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 It is compatible with net/http, offers URL routing patterns and a reconfigurable middleware stack, and has been superseded by goji.io.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

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance
- function: web-framework, routing, middleware, http-server
- domain: web-development, backend, apis
- platform: go, windows, cross-platform
