web.go

web.go is the simplest way to write web applications in the Go programming language.

Overview

web.go should be familiar to people who've developed websites with higher-level web frameworks like sinatra, pylons, or web.py. It is designed to be a lightweight web framework that doesn't impose any scaffolding on the user. Some features include:

  • Routing to url handlers based on regular expressions
  • Secure cookies
  • Support for fastcgi and scgi
  • Web applications are compiled to native code. This means very fast execution and page render speed ( benchmarks coming soon :)
  • Serving static files

Installation

  1. Make sure you have the a working Go environment. See the install instructions. web.go will always compile on the release tag.
  2. git clone git://github.com/hoisie/web.go.git
  3. cd web.go && make install

Or simply run goinstall github.com/hoisie/web.go

Example

package main

import (
    "web"
)

func hello(val string) string { return "hello " + val } 

func main() {
    web.Get("/(.*)", hello)
    web.Run("0.0.0.0:9999")
}

To run the application, put the code in a file called hello.go and run:

8g hello.go && 8l -o hello hello.8 && ./hello

You can point your browser to http://localhost:9999/world .

Documentation

For a quickstart guide, check out web.go's home page

There is also a tutorial

If you use web.go, I'd greatly appreciate a quick message about what you're building with it. This will help me get a sense of usage patterns, and helps me focus development effors on features that people will actually use.
