Iris is a fast, feature-rich HTTP/2 web framework for Go with first-class MVC support, built-in dependency injection, and an expressive API. It ships with routing, sessions, websockets, JWT/OAuth authentication, middleware, and multiple response formats out of the box.
Use cases
- build a rest api in go
- go web framework with mvc support
- serve websockets in golang
- add jwt authentication to a go web app
- high performance http server in go
- generate swagger docs for go api
- build server-rendered website with go templates
When to choose
- you want a batteries-included Go web framework with MVC and DI built in
- you need high throughput routing and many built-in features like sessions, websockets, and auth
- you prefer a single framework covering APIs, MVC, and real-time features without assembling many libraries
When to avoid
- you prefer the minimal standard library net/http or a micro-framework like chi or echo
- your team wants the largest ecosystem and community, where Gin is more common
- you need a framework in another language or for non-HTTP protocols
