Question 1

How do I add middleware to Goji?

Accepted Answer

Use the Mux.Use method to add http.Handler middleware functions, allowing composable logic like logging or CORS. The GoDoc documentation provides examples for chaining multiple middleware.

Question 2

Goji vs Gorilla Mux: which is better for routing?

Accepted Answer

Goji is more minimal and idiomatic, focusing on simplicity and standard library integration, while Gorilla Mux offers advanced features like regex routing. Choose Goji for lightweight projects and Gorilla for complex routing needs.

Question 3

Is Goji production ready for high-traffic apps?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Goji is stable and suitable for production, as stated in the README, but its simplicity might lack optimizations found in more specialized routers for extreme performance.

Question 4

How to handle URL parameters in Goji?

Accepted Answer

Use the pat package, as shown in the quick start—call pat.Param(r, 'name') to extract parameters from the request context after registering patterns like pat.Get('/hello/:name').

Question 5

Does Goji support nested routes or subrouters?

Accepted Answer

Goji's documentation doesn't explicitly cover nested routes; you may need to manage multiple mux instances or use patterns creatively, which can be less straightforward than in some other frameworks.

Question 6

What are common use cases for Goji's context storage?

Accepted Answer

It's useful for passing request-specific data like user authentication tokens or request IDs through middleware and handlers, avoiding global state and improving code clarity.
