Features

• Go Web Frameworks - Serves as a comprehensive toolkit for building high-performance web applications using the Go programming language.
• Database Model Management - Simplifies data access and schema management through an integrated object-relational mapper and command-line tooling.
• Object-Relational Mappers - Integrates an object-relational mapper to simplify database schema management and map Go structs to relational tables.
• ORM Wrappers - Ships a data access layer that simplifies database schema management and record manipulation using Go objects.
• Middleware-Based Request Pipelines - Processes HTTP requests through a sequential stack of pluggable middleware functions to handle cross-cutting concerns.
• Web Session Management - Manages persistent user state across requests using server-side or cookie-based stores and websocket integrations.
• MVC Frameworks - Implements a structured environment separating models, views, and controllers for organized application architecture.
• Request Context State - Provides request-scoped storage to share data between middleware and handlers throughout the request lifecycle.
• Parameter Extraction - Extracts input values from URL paths, query strings, and request bodies for use in handlers.
• Dynamic Template Rendering - Produces dynamic HTML output using a flexible templating engine that extends beyond Go's standard library.
• Full-Stack Development - Provides a comprehensive toolchain for the holistic development of database, backend, and frontend components.
• Response Body Renderers - Generates response bodies using templates or strings and assigns the corresponding HTTP status codes.
• Template-to-Response Rendering - Injects request data and session state into flexible templates to generate dynamic HTML responses.
• Request Context Management - Manages the lifecycle and persistence of request-scoped data and session state across handlers.
• Resource-Based Routing - Implements a routing system that automatically maps standard RESTful actions to predefined resource URL paths.
• Application Route Definitions - Provides a system for mapping URI paths and HTTP methods to specific handler functions and controllers.
• Session State Management - Maintains user state across multiple HTTP requests using configurable session stores and cookies.
• Secure Asset Path Resolution - Resolves application files with local disk priority and embedded fallbacks while preventing directory traversal attacks.
• Filesystem Fallback Resolution - Resolves assets by prioritizing files from a physical directory and falling back to an embedded filesystem.
• Local Project Structure Generators - Provides utilities to generate a complete project directory structure and boilerplate for new applications.
• Fallback Asset Resolution - Prioritizes serving static files from the local disk and falls back to an embedded filesystem for production builds.
• Background Job Processing - Handles asynchronous jobs outside the main request-response cycle using a dedicated worker interface.
• Background Job Queues - Offloads asynchronous tasks to a background worker process to keep the main request-response cycle non-blocking.
• Domain-Based Routing - Directs incoming HTTP requests to specific handler groups based on hostnames or subdomain patterns.
• HTTP Request Interceptors - Provides middleware components to intercept and modify HTTP requests and responses for cross-cutting concerns.
• Virtual Hosting - Supports serving multiple independent domains or subdomains on a single server instance.
• Controller-Action Routing - Maps incoming HTTP requests directly to specific controller actions for RESTful operations.
• URL Route Mapping - Maps URL patterns and HTTP methods to specific handlers to route incoming requests.
• HTTP Cookie Managers - Provides utilities to create, read, and delete HTTP cookies with configurable expiration and paths.
• HTTP Error Handling - Implements mechanisms for aborting requests and returning standardized HTTP status codes.
• Ordered Middleware Pipelines - Implements ordered middleware pipelines that enforce strict execution sequences for shared concerns like authentication.
• Route Generators - Generates type-safe links and paths for named routes to ensure consistent internal linking.
• Route Grouping - Organizes related routes under common path prefixes to share middleware and controllers.
• Route Naming Systems - Assigns unique identifiers to routes to facilitate simplified URL generation and redirection.
• Method-Based Handler Binding - Binds specific HTTP methods and URL paths to handler functions to control application responses.
• Filesystem Static File Servings - Delivers static files from a disk directory with support for cache control and gzip compression.
• Web Request Routers - Provides a routing system to map incoming HTTP requests to specific application logic based on domains or paths.
• Web Frameworks - Rapid web development ecosystem and tooling.
