## What it is
Leaf is a pragmatic game server framework written in Go, providing modular building blocks for building multiplayer game backends. It emphasizes ease of use, reliability, multicore support, and modularity.

## Use cases
- build a multiplayer game server in Go
- handle real-time client connections for an online game
- structure a modular game backend with multicore support
- implement a websocket-based game server
- prototype an MMO or mobile game backend

## When to choose
- you are building a game server in Go and want a lightweight, easy-to-use framework
- you need modular architecture with multicore support for game logic
- you want a proven open-source foundation for multiplayer backends

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose web application framework rather than a game server
- you require a framework with a large active community and frequent releases
- you are building non-realtime services where a standard web framework fits better

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance
- function: game-engine, networking, concurrency, websocket, http-server
- domain: backend, cross-platform
- platform: go, windows, cross-platform
- tags: game-server, golang, multiplayer, server-framework, game-development, real-time, linux, macos
