Core router is under 1000 lines of code with strong performance benchmarks, making it efficient for high-traffic APIs as shown in the benchmarks section.

100% compatible with net/http, allowing seamless use of any Go middleware or package without vendor lock-in, which is emphasized in the README.

Supports middleware chains, route groups, and sub-router mounting, enabling decomposition of large APIs into manageable parts, as illustrated in the REST preview example.

Built on Go's context package for fine-grained request control, including timeouts and cancellations, which is critical for production reliability and mentioned in the philosophy.
