Goa
Design-first Go framework that generates API code, documentation, and clients from a single DSL, eliminating drift between design and implementation.
What is Goa?
Goa is a design-first framework for building APIs and microservices in the Go programming language. It provides a Domain-Specific Language (DSL) to define API designs, from which it automatically generates server code, client libraries, and documentation for multiple protocols like HTTP and gRPC. It solves the problem of manual boilerplate coding and the drift between API documentation and implementation.
Go developers and teams building consistent, well-documented APIs and microservices, especially those who value a design-first workflow and want to reduce repetitive transport-layer code.
Developers choose Goa for its powerful code generation that eliminates up to 50% of boilerplate, its guarantee of zero drift between design, code, and docs, and its ability to support multiple transport protocols from a single design definition.
