Go (Golang) is the new kid on the block in terms of the recent popularity surge. It is small, stable, simple to use and learn, fast, compiled (native code), and heavily used in cloud tools and services (Docker, Kubernetes, ...). There is no reason no...

Can the Gorilla API be extended for the protobufs as well for HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 QUIC protocols?

Hi Azar, thanks for your comment. While mux does support protobuf to some level (medium.com/swlh/supercharge-your-rest-apis-with-p…), HTTP/2|3 is questionable and I did not test this out so far.

Hi, thanks for the article. I'm new to GO and I was looking into Fiber vs Mux for apis, do you think that Mux is a better choice than Fiber? I was looking into Fiber just because it's similar to ExpressJs. Thanks.

Hi Razvan, thanks for you interest in my article :) As with all languages and frameworks it all depends on the development speed (learning curve) and your personal needs. Go offers a wide range of frameworks/libs like Mux, Fiber, Gin and Echo. The best way I can reply to you is to take a look at the numbers here:

go.libhunt.com/compare-fiber-vs-mux

I also suggest that you take a look at all the other libs I mentioned here (for example if performance speed is a key component for your needs - take a look at Echo -> echo.labstack.com/cookbook/crud) and find the one that suits you best for your needs :)
