Write the common path quickly.
Concise routes, groups, binding, response helpers, and one central place for errors.

Zinc 0.2.1 available now!Fast Go APIs.
Fast Go APIs.
Still net/http.
Routing, binding, errors, and middleware on top of the HTTP stack you already know. Zinc stays small enough to get out of the way.

"log"

)
func main() {
app := zinc.New()
app.Get("/", func(c *zinc.Context) error {
return c.JSON(zinc.Map{
"message": "Hello from Zinc!",
})
})
log.Fatal(app.Listen(":8080"))

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

{"message":"Hello from Zinc!"}WHAT ZINC ADDS
Application code without the ceremony.
Zinc fills the practical gaps above the standard library. Nothing underneath is replaced.
Keep standard Go within reach.
A Zinc app is an http.Handler. The original request and response writer stay available.
server.Handler = appBring the ecosystem with you.
Mount existing handlers and wrap the application with ordinary HTTP middleware.
app.HandleHTTP(pattern, handler)ONE HTTP STACK
Zinc is the thin layer—not another engine.
Own your server configuration, use Go-style brace routes, and move between Zinc and standard handlers without adapters.
