🚂🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋

Fast trie implementation designed from scratch specifically for HTTP

A small and light router for creating sturdy backend Go applications. Production-level tested, muxie's capabilities live inside the well-tested Iris web framework.

Features

• trie based: performance and useness are first class citizens, Muxie is based on the prefix tree data structure, designed from scratch and built for HTTP, and it is among the fastest outhere, if not the fastest one
• grouping: group common routes based on their path prefixes
• no external dependencies: weighing 30kb, Muxie is a tiny little library without external dependencies
• closest wildcard resolution and prefix-based custom 404: wildcards, named parameters and static paths can all live and play together nice and fast in the same path prefix or suffix(!)
• small api: with only 3 main methods for HTTP there's not much to learn
• compatibility: built to be 100% compatible with the net/http standard package

Technical Features

• Closest Wildcard Resolution and Root wildcard (CWR)*
• Parameterized Dynamic Path (named parameters with :name and wildcards with *name, can play all together for the same path prefix|suffix)*
• Standard handlers chain (Pre(handlers).For(mainHandler) for individual routes and Mux#Use for router)*
• Register handlers by method(s) (muxie.Methods())*
• Register handlers by filters (Mux#HandleRequest and Mux#AddRequestHandler for muxie.Matcher and muxie.RequestHandler)
• Handle subdomains with ease (muxie.Host Matcher)*
• Request Processors (muxie.Bind and muxie.Dispatch)*
