Gin is a web framework written in [Go](https://go.dev/). It features a martini-like API with performance that is up to 40 times faster thanks to [httprouter](https://github.com/julienschmidt/httprouter). If you need performance and good productivity, you will love Gin.

**The key features of Gin are:**

- Zero allocation router
- Fast
- Middleware support
- Crash-free
- JSON validation
- Routes grouping
- Error management
- Rendering built-in
- Extendable


## Getting started

### Prerequisites

- **[Go](https://go.dev/)**: ~~any one of the **three latest major** [releases](https://go.dev/doc/devel/release)~~ (now version **1.16+** is required).

### Getting Gin

With [Go module](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules) support, simply add the following import

```
import "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
```

to your code, and then `go [build|run|test]` will automatically fetch the necessary dependencies.

Otherwise, run the following Go command to install the `gin` package:

```sh
$ go get -u github.com/gin-gonic/gin
```

### Running Gin

First you need to import Gin package for using Gin, one simplest example likes the follow `example.go`:

```go
package main

import (
  "net/http"

  "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

func main() {
  r := gin.Default()
  r.GET("/ping", func(c *gin.Context) {
    c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{
      "message": "pong",
    })
  })
  r.Run() // listen and serve on 0.0.0.0:8080 (for windows "localhost:8080")
}
```

And use the Go command to run the demo:

```
# run example.go and visit 0.0.0.0:8080/ping on browser
$ go run example.go
```

### Learn more examples

#### Quick Start

Learn and practice more examples, please read the [Gin Quick Start](docs/doc.md) which includes API examples and builds tag.

#### Examples

A number of ready-to-run examples demonstrating various use cases of Gin on the [Gin examples](https://github.com/gin-gonic/examples) repository.

## Benchmarks

Gin uses a custom version of [HttpRouter](https://github.com/julienschmidt/httprouter), [see all benchmarks details](/BENCHMARKS.md).

- (1): Total Repetitions achieved in constant time, higher means more confident result
- (2): Single Repetition Duration (ns/op), lower is better
- (3): Heap Memory (B/op), lower is better
- (4): Average Allocations per Repetition (allocs/op), lower is better
