Lit is an expressive and fast HTTP framework for Golang. It aims to enhance development by providing great simplicity, extensibility and maintainability.

Check Lit package documentation.

Create a new Go project and import Lit with the command:

go get github.com/jvcoutinho/lit

Write this to your main.go file:

package main

import (
	"log"
	"net/http"

	"github.com/jvcoutinho/lit"
	"github.com/jvcoutinho/lit/render"
)

func main() {
	r := lit.NewRouter()
	r.Use(lit.Log)
	r.Use(lit.Recover)

	r.GET("/", HelloWorld)

	server := &http.Server{Addr: ":8080", Handler: r}
	log.Fatalln(server.ListenAndServe())
}

func HelloWorld(r *lit.Request) lit.Response {
	return render.OK("Hello, World!")
}

Then you can start adding new routes and middlewares.

• Great speed: It uses httprouter, a very fast zero-allocation router. See benchmarks.
• Maintainability: Its constructs make room for declarative programming, creating code that is more readable, maintainable, extensible and testable.
• Flexibility: It allows one to easily extend its constructs. Creating new validations, middlewares and responses, for example, is very simple and intuitive.
