fastglue

Overview

fastglue is an opinionated, bare bones wrapper that glues together fasthttp and fasthttprouter to act as a micro HTTP framework. It helps eliminate boilerplate that would otherwise be required when using these two libraries to write HTTP servers. It enables:

• Performance benefits of fasthttp + fasthttprouter.
• Pre/post middleware hooks on HTTP handlers.
• Simple middlewares for validating (existence, length range) of params in HTTP requests.
• Functions for unmarshalling request payloads (Form encoding, JSON, XML) into arbitrary structs.
• Shortcut functions for registering handlers, GET(), POST() etc.
• Shortcut for fasthttp listening on TCP and Unix sockets.
• Shortcut for graceful shutdown hook on the fasthttp server.
• Opinionated JSON API response and error structures.
• Shortcut functions for sending strings, bytes, JSON in the envelope structure without serialization or allocation.
