Zinx is a lightweight concurrent server framework written in Go, focused on TCP long-connection servers such as game backends. It emphasizes concise, readable code that developers can easily understand and customize for enterprise scenarios.

Use cases

• build a tcp game server in go
• handle long-lived tcp connections with goroutines
• message forwarding backend for microservices
• learn how a go server framework works internally
• customizable concurrent server framework for golang
• build a message handling plugin for a web framework

When to choose

• you need a lightweight, hackable TCP server framework in Go
• you are building long-connection game servers or message forwarding services
• you want simple source code you can read and extend yourself

When to avoid

• you need a full-featured HTTP/REST framework with rich middleware ecosystem
• you prefer batteries-included frameworks like Gin or gRPC for standard APIs
• you need UDP or non-TCP transports out of the box
