Philosophy

The Iris philosophy is to provide robust tooling for HTTP, making it a great solution for single page applications, web sites, hybrids, or public HTTP APIs.

Iris does not force you to use any specific ORM or template engine. With support for the most used template engines, you can quickly craft the perfect application.

Benchmarks

This Benchmark suite aims to compare the whole HTTP request processing between Go web frameworks.

Testing

Iris suggests you to use this new suite to test your API. Httpexpect supports fasthttp & Iris after recommandation. Its author is very active so I believe its a promising library. You can view examples here and here.
