Martini is a classic Go web framework offering simple routing, middleware chaining, dependency injection of services into handlers, and static file serving via a martini.Classic() setup. Its own README declares the framework is no longer maintained, so it survives only as legacy code for existing applications.

Use cases

• quickly write modular web applications and services in Go
• add path-based routing with middleware to a Go http server
• inject services into request handlers with dependency injection
• serve static files or an HTML5-mode single-page app from Go
• build a simple REST API in Go with minimal boilerplate
• maintain or migrate an existing legacy Martini codebase

When to choose

• you are maintaining an existing application already built on Martini
• you need to study a historically influential Go framework's dependency-injection and middleware design
• you have a tiny, isolated internal service pinned to an old Go toolchain where Martini already works

When to avoid

• starting any new Go web project - the project is officially unmaintained
• security-sensitive or long-term production systems that need patches and updates
• you want modern Go idioms - prefer net/http (Go 1.22+ routing), chi, gin, or echo
• your codebase requires a dependency with an active community and recent releases
