Goji is a minimalistic and flexible HTTP request multiplexer for Go (golang)

Goji

Goji is a HTTP request multiplexer, similar to net/http.ServeMux. It compares incoming requests to a list of registered Patterns, and dispatches to the Handler that corresponds to the first matching Pattern. Goji also supports Middleware (composable shared functionality applied to every request) and uses the de facto standard x/net/context to store request-scoped values.

Quick Start

package main

import (
        "fmt"
        "net/http"

        "goji.io"
        "goji.io/pat"
        "golang.org/x/net/context"
)

func hello(ctx context.Context, w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
        name := pat.Param(ctx, "name")
        fmt.Fprintf(w, "Hello, %s!", name)
}

func main() {
        mux := goji.NewMux()
        mux.HandleFuncC(pat.Get("/hello/:name"), hello)

        http.ListenAndServe("localhost:8000", mux)
}

Please refer to Goji's GoDoc Documentation for a full API reference.

Stability

Goji's API is stable, and guarantees to never break compatibility with existing code (under similar rules to the Go project's guidelines). Goji is suitable for use in production.

One possible exception to the above compatibility guarantees surrounds the inclusion of the x/net/context package in the standard library for Go 1.7. When this happens, Goji may switch its package imports to use the standard library's version of the package. Note that, while this is a backwards incompatible change, the impact on clients is expected to be minimal: applications will simply have to change the import path of the context package. More discussion about this migration can be found on the Goji mailing list.

Community / Contributing

Goji maintains a mailing list, gojiberries, where you should feel welcome to ask questions about the project (no matter how simple!), to announce projects or libraries built on top of Goji, or to talk about Goji more generally. Goji's author (Carl Jackson) also loves to hear from users directly at his personal email address, which is available on his GitHub profile page.

Contributions to Goji are welcome, however please be advised that due to Goji's stability guarantees interface changes are unlikely to be accepted.

All interactions in the Goji community will be held to the high standard of the broader Go community's Code of Conduct.
