Package gorilla/mux implements a request router and dispatcher for matching incoming requests to their respective handler. The name mux stands for "HTTP request multiplexer". Like the standard http.ServeMux, mux.Router matches incoming requests against a list of registered routes and calls a handler for the route that matches the URL or other conditions. The main features are that it implements the http.Handler interface so it is compatible with the standard http.ServeMux, requests can be matched based on URL host, path, path prefix, schemes, header and query values, HTTP methods or using custom matchers, URL hosts, paths and query values can have variables with an optional regular expression. Also, registered URLs can be built, or "reversed", which helps maintaining references to resources, Routes can be used as subrouters: nested routes are only tested if the parent route matches. And many more features.
Features
- Mux supports the addition of middlewares to a Router
- Mux middlewares are defined using the de facto standard type
- Testing handlers in a Go web application is straightforward, and mux doesn't complicate this any further
- It implements the http.Handler interface so it is compatible with the standard http.ServeMux
- URL hosts, paths and query values can have variables with an optional regular expression
