Golang Http Frameworks
This covers the Go HTTP framework landscape from stdlib's net/http (which got solid routing improvements in 1.22) through popular third-party options like Chi, Gin, Echo, and Fiber. It's useful if you're building REST APIs in Go and want Claude to understand the tradeoffs between sticking with standard library versus reaching for a framework. The skill includes middleware patterns, validation, and testing approaches with httptest. Honestly, the main value here is teaching Claude the current state of Go web development so it doesn't suggest outdated patterns or miss that stdlib routing is now pretty capable on its own. Good reference material if you're prototyping APIs or reviewing framework choices.

Go HTTP Frameworks & REST APIs
Overview
Go provides exceptional HTTP capabilities starting with the standard library's net/http package. Go 1.22+ introduced enhanced pattern routing in ServeMux, making stdlib viable for many applications. For more complex needs, frameworks like Chi, Gin, Echo, and Fiber offer additional features while maintaining Go's simplicity and performance.
Key Features:
- 🌐 net/http: Production-ready standard library with Go 1.22+ routing
- 🎯 Chi: Lightweight, stdlib-compatible router with middleware chains
- ⚡ Gin: High-performance framework with binding and validation
- 🛡️ Echo: Type-safe, enterprise framework with OpenAPI support
- 🚀 Fiber: Express.js-inspired framework with WebSocket support
- 🔧 Middleware: Composable request/response processing
- ✅ Validation: Struct tag-based request validation
- 🧪 Testing: httptest.Server for comprehensive integration tests
