Go web framework / HTTP API framework
labstack/echo is a high-performance, minimalist Go web framework for building RESTful APIs with a fast radix-tree router, middleware, request binding, and HTTP/2/TLS support.
Same problem, same approach. Swapping one for another is a config change, not a rewrite.
choose when you want a lightweight stdlib-compatible router/middleware chain and prefer to assemble your own binding and validation rather than using Echo's batteries-included approach.
lightweight, idiomatic and composable router for building Go HTTP services
choose when you want a smaller, simpler Go micro-framework with fewer moving parts and a flatter learning curve than Echo.
Simple and easy go web micro framework
choose when you want the de-facto standard Go web framework with the largest ecosystem and a Martini-like API, at the cost of some built-in conveniences that Echo includes.
Gin is a high-performance HTTP web framework written in Go. It provides a Martini-like API but with significantly better performance—up to 40 times faster—thanks to httprouter. Gin is designed for building REST APIs, web applications, and microservices.
choose when you want a lightweight, composable web framework with a small API surface and low dependency footprint, though the community is smaller than Echo's.
A lightweight, composable and high performance web service framework for Go.
Solves the same problem with a different architecture or at a different layer. Expect to rewrite the integration.
choose when you want a transport-agnostic microservices toolkit with pluggable endpoints rather than an HTTP-only framework; note it has had no recent pushes.
A standard library for microservices.
choose when you need a full cloud-native microservices framework with built-in service governance and gRPC/HTTP support instead of a minimalist HTTP framework.
Your ultimate Go microservices framework for the cloud-native era.
choose when you want an opinionated microservice framework with built-in database, observability, and configuration support rather than a minimal HTTP framework.
An opinionated GoLang framework for accelerated microservice development. Built in support for databases and observability.
choose when you want a batteries-included Go framework with ORM, validation, and many components in one module instead of Echo's minimal core.
A powerful framework for faster, easier, and more efficient project development.
choose when you want a Laravel-style full-featured development skeleton with scaffolding and conventions rather than Echo's minimalistic style.
The full-featured Golang Development Framework skeleton
choose when you prefer a Tornado-like class-based handler API over Echo's functional middleware and handler-chain model.
Tigo is an HTTP web framework written in Go (Golang).It features a Tornado-like API with better performance. Tigo是一款用Go语言开发的web应用框架，API特性类似于Tornado并且拥有比Tornado更好的性能。
An earlier or more limited way to do the job. Still the right call when you need something small, proven, or CPU-only.
an older Go web framework with security-oriented features; choose only if you are locked into its API, but it has not been maintained in 3.5 years.
A secure, flexible, rapid Go web framework
a mature but stale router-only library; choose when you just need a powerful URL matcher and want to stay close to net/http, but it has no recent releases.
Package gorilla/mux is a powerful HTTP router and URL matcher for building Go web servers with 🦍
an older Go web framework with auto-binding handler style; choose if you prefer that model, but it is unmaintained (3.5 years).
Faygo is a fast and concise Go Web framework that can be used to develop high-performance web app(especially API) with fewer codes. Just define a struct handler, faygo will automatically bind/verify the request parameters and generate the online API doc.
a narrow, high-performance router only; choose if you only need routing and want a radix-tree matcher without middleware or binding, but it is stale.
A high performance HTTP request router that scales well
These projects were analysed and named echo among their alternatives. The relationship is not symmetric — how echo rates them is a separate judgement, made when echo is analysed in its own right.
calls echo “Use echo if you prefer a clean, minimalist API with built-in middleware and standard net/http integration over Hertz's netpoll-specific performance optimizations.”
Go HTTP framework with high-performance and strong-extensibility for building micro-services.
calls echo “High-performance Go web framework with a different API; choose if you prefer Echo's design and feature set.”
Gin is a high-performance HTTP web framework written in Go. It provides a Martini-like API but with significantly better performance—up to 40 times faster—thanks to httprouter. Gin is designed for building REST APIs, web applications, and microservices.
calls echo “Choose when you want a minimalist but full-featured web framework with structured routing and built-in middleware, if happy with vendor-specific handlers.”
lightweight, idiomatic and composable router for building Go HTTP services
calls echo “High-performance Go web framework with routing and middleware; choose when you want a minimalist framework with an API different from mux.”
Package gorilla/mux is a powerful HTTP router and URL matcher for building Go web servers with 🦍
calls echo “choose for a minimalist framework with good performance and a simple, expressive API.”
A powerful framework for faster, easier, and more efficient project development.
calls echo “Use Echo when you only need a minimalist HTTP web framework and no microservice governance.”
A cloud-native Go microservices framework with cli tool for productivity.
