Question 1

How do I add middleware in Gorouter?

Accepted Answer

Gorouter provides an extensible middleware system where you can chain functions to intercept requests. Check the documentation for examples on setting up authentication or logging middleware with both net/http and fasthttp backends.

Question 2

Is Gorouter faster than Gin?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Gorouter's benchmarks show lower latency and memory usage compared to many routers, but Gin offers more built-in features like rendering and validation. Choose Gorouter for raw speed, Gin for convenience.

Question 3

Does Gorouter support WebSockets?

Accepted Answer

No, Gorouter does not have built-in WebSocket support. You'll need to implement it separately using other Go libraries, as it focuses solely on HTTP routing and middleware.

Question 4

How can I serve static files with Gorouter?

Accepted Answer

Gorouter includes a built-in method for serving static files via its routing system. You can map routes to directories, similar to other routers, with examples provided in the external documentation.

Question 5

Can Gorouter handle HTTP/2 connections?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Gorouter supports HTTP/2 out of the box, which is beneficial for modern web applications requiring improved performance and multiplexing, as mentioned in its feature list.

Question 6

What are the main drawbacks of using Gorouter over net/http?

Accepted Answer

Gorouter adds complexity with its dual backend support and requires learning a new API, whereas net/http is simpler but less feature-rich. However, Gorouter offers better performance and middleware flexibility.
