Question 1

How does gorazor compare to quicktemplate in terms of speed?

Accepted Answer

Benchmarks show gorazor is comparable or faster when using optimized writing methods like ByteBuffer, but quicktemplate may have a slight edge in some cases; gorazor offers the Razor syntax which some developers prefer for cleanliness.

Question 2

How to create a reusable component in gorazor?

Accepted Answer

Place templates in a 'helper' folder to generate functions in the helper namespace; call them like @helper.ComponentName(args) from other templates, enabling Go function-style reuse without escaping overhead.

Question 3

Is gorazor good for large-scale applications?

Accepted Answer

Yes, its compile-time validation and high performance make it suitable, but the code generation step must be integrated into the build pipeline, which can add maintenance overhead in complex projects.

Question 4

Can I use gorazor with Go modules?

Accepted Answer

Yes, gorazor supports Go 1.10 and above, with 1.12+ recommended for compiler optimizations; it works with Go modules, but you may need to set the -prefix parameter for correct import paths in templates.

Question 5

What's the learning curve for gorazor if I know Go but not Razor?

Accepted Answer

The syntax is intuitive for Go developers since it uses Go code blocks, but Razor-specific elements like @variable and layout sections require some adaptation from standard templating; the README provides examples to ease the transition.

Question 6

How does gorazor handle security like XSS attacks?

Accepted Answer

Automatically escapes variables inserted with @variable using html/template's escaping; use the raw function only when necessary, but caution is advised as it bypasses protection and requires manual validation.
