Gin is a high-performance HTTP web framework written in [Go](https://go.dev/). It provides a Martini-like API but with significantly better performance—up to 40 times faster—thanks to [httprouter](https://github.com/julienschmidt/httprouter). Gin is designed for building REST APIs, web applications, and microservices where speed and developer productivity are essential.
|
|
|
|
**Why choose Gin?**
|
|
|
|
Gin combines the simplicity of Express.js-style routing with Go's performance characteristics, making it ideal for:
|
|
|
|
- Building high-throughput REST APIs
|
|
- Developing microservices that need to handle many concurrent requests
|
|
- Creating web applications that require fast response times
|
|
- Prototyping web services quickly with minimal boilerplate
|
|
|
|
**Gin's key features:**
|
|
|
|
- **Zero allocation router** - Extremely memory-efficient routing with no heap allocations
|
|
- **High performance** - Benchmarks show superior speed compared to other Go web frameworks
|
|
- **Middleware support** - Extensible middleware system for authentication, logging, CORS, etc.
|
|
- **Crash-free** - Built-in recovery middleware prevents panics from crashing your server
|
|
- **JSON validation** - Automatic request/response JSON binding and validation
|
|
- **Route grouping** - Organize related routes and apply common middleware
|
|
- **Error management** - Centralized error handling and logging
|
|
- **Built-in rendering** - Support for JSON, XML, HTML templates, and more
|
|
- **Extensible** - Large ecosystem of community middleware and plugins
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- **Go version**: Gin requires [Go](https://go.dev/) version [1.23](https://go.dev/doc/devel/release#go1.23.0) or above
|
|
- **Basic Go knowledge**: Familiarity with Go syntax and package management is helpful
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
With [Go's module support](https://go.dev/wiki/Modules#how-to-use-modules), simply import Gin in your code and Go will automatically fetch it during build:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
import "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Your First Gin Application
|
|
|
|
Here's a complete example that demonstrates Gin's simplicity:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
package main
|
|
|
|
import (
|
|
"net/http"
|
|
|
|
"github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
// Create a Gin router with default middleware (logger and recovery)
|
|
r := gin.Default()
|
|
|
|
// Define a simple GET endpoint
|
|
r.GET("/ping", func(c *gin.Context) {
|
|
// Return JSON response
|
|
c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{
|
|
"message": "pong",
|
|
})
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
// Start server on port 8080 (default)
|
|
// Server will listen on 0.0.0.0:8080 (localhost:8080 on Windows)
|
|
r.Run()
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Running the application:**
|
|
|
|
1. Save the code above as `main.go`
|
|
2. Run the application:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
go run main.go
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Open your browser and visit [`http://localhost:8080/ping`](http://localhost:8080/ping)
|
|
4. You should see: `{"message":"pong"}`
|
|
|
|
**What this example demonstrates:**
|
|
|
|
- Creating a Gin router with default middleware
|
|
- Defining HTTP endpoints with simple handler functions
|
|
- Returning JSON responses
|
|
- Starting an HTTP server
|
|
|
|
