echo

## Echo High performance, extensible, minimalist Go web framework. Echo is built on Go's standard `net/http` — and interoperates with it via `echo.WrapHandler` / `echo.WrapMiddleware` — adding the parts the standard library leaves to you: a fast radix-tree router, request binding (with a pluggable validator), a deep middleware ecosystem, and centralized error handling. Actively maintained, with `v5` as the current release line (see badges above for the latest version and most recent commit). * [Official website](https://echo.labstack.com) * [Quick start](https://echo.labstack.com/docs/quick-start) * [Middlewares](https://echo.labstack.com/docs/category/middleware) Help and questions: [Github Discussions](https://github.com/labstack/echo/discussions) ### Feature Overview - Optimized HTTP router which smartly prioritize routes - Build robust and scalable RESTful APIs - Group APIs - Extensible middleware framework - Define middleware at root, group or route level - Data binding for JSON, XML and form payload - Handy functions to send variety of HTTP responses - Centralized HTTP error handling - Template rendering with any template engine - Define your format for the logger - Highly customizable - Automatic TLS via Let’s Encrypt - HTTP/2 support ## Sponsors
