goyave

The enterprise REST API framework

Goyave an opinionated all-in-one Golang web framework focused on REST APIs, with emphasis on code reliability, maintainability and developer experience (DX).

In short, Goyave's goals are:

Catering to companies with enterprise-level clean architecture, for medium to large projects
Help developers focus on the business logic of their application instead of spending time on technical aspects
Provide an all-in-one package with no setup friction
Provide all the features a typical project needs without bloating or magic
Provide an optimal setup for the real-world
Ensure robust, reliable and resilient code
Stay open and hackable despite being opinionated
Make backend development easy and enjoyable
Keep a clear and extensive documentation so developers can always find the answer to their questions

Goyave's non-goals are:

Hyper-optimisation and performance
Small projects and prototypes
Providing control on low-level networking
Providing tools for front-end development
