  1. Gin

    Gin is a high-performance HTTP web framework written in Go. It provides a Martini-like API but with significantly better performance—up to 40 times faster—thanks to httprouter. Gin is designed for building REST APIs, web applications, and microservices.

    I Googled about which Go web framework is the best for beginners, but turned out to be not that helpful. However, a lot of them mentioned Gin and has almost 60k stars on GitHub. So I chose Gin as my framework to get started.

  3. air

    ☁️ Live reload for Go apps

    So some web frameworks (such as Python Flask) has a builtin hot reloader for the development server. Unfortunately, Gin doesn't come with that. I chose to use air as my auto reloader and of course you can use others.

  4. go-blog

    A simple dynamic blog built with Golang and Gin. Backend only.

    So... I finally finished the Gin hello world! I put all my source code to GitHub and hopefully I will be updating it. Clone it if you found something useful or just to play around!

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
