Negroni is a tiny, idiomatic HTTP middleware library for Go that works directly with net/http handlers. It is not a framework; it lets you compose middleware chains while bringing your own router.

Use cases

• add middleware to a go net/http server
• compose logging and recovery middleware in go
• chain http handlers in golang
• use a custom router with middleware in go
• lightweight alternative to full go web frameworks

When to choose

• you want minimal, non-intrusive middleware for net/http
• you prefer bringing your own router (BYOR)
• you find full frameworks like Martini too magical

When to avoid

• you need a full web framework with routing and templating built in
• you want a batteries-included middleware ecosystem
• starting a new project where stdlib net/http middleware chains may suffice
