Routers

29 projects

Routers map an incoming method and path to a handler and extract path parameters. They are the smallest step up from the standard library: most work with ordinary http.Handler values, so you can mix them with any net/http middleware. Since Go 1.22, net/http's ServeMux supports method matching and wildcards like /users/{id}, read with r.PathValue, which covers what many projects used a router for.

chi is the most active router here; it is fully net/http compatible, supports route groups and sub-routers, and ships a set of middleware. gorilla/mux supports matching on hosts, headers and regular expressions and is widely deployed, though the repository has been quiet since 2024. julienschmidt/httprouter introduced the radix-tree approach that Gin's router derives from, and has also seen little change since 2024. Most other entries, such as Bone, Goji, gocraft/web and lars, have not been updated in years, and httptreemux is archived.

For new code, try the standard ServeMux first. If you need route groups, mounted sub-routers or a middleware stack attached per route, chi adds those without leaving net/http. Pick gorilla/mux only for its matching features or an existing codebase. Router speed rarely matters next to database and network time, so favor API fit and maintenance over benchmarks.
