20 How to Understanding Routing Library in Golang

Routing Library

Golang actually provides ServeMux as a handler that can handle several endpoints or the term is routing. But most Golang programmers will usually use libraries to do this routing because ServeMux does not have advanced features such as path variables, auto binding parameters and middleware. So there are many other alternatives that we can use for routing libraries besides ServeMux.

Multiple Routing Libraries

There are several routing libraries that you can use to make it easier when developing a website using Golang, including the following:

• https://github.com/julienschmidt/httprouter
• https://github.com/gorilla/mux
• https://github.com/go-chi/chi
• https://github.com/julienschmidt/go-http-routing-benchmark

Later we will discuss several tutorials in depth with special topics for this Routing Library. Just wait for the next tutorial post.
