README

Macaron

Macaron Logo

Package macaron is a high productive and modular web framework in Go.

📣 Announcement

If you're considering using Macaron, you may want to take a look at Flamego first, which is the successor of the Macaron.
That means Macaron is officially in the maintenance mode, and no major features will be added to Macaron.

Getting Started

The minimum requirement of Go is 1.12.

To install Macaron:

go get gopkg.in/macaron.v1

The very basic usage of Macaron:

package main

import "gopkg.in/macaron.v1"

func main() {
    m := macaron.Classic()
    m.Get("/", func() string {
        return "Hello world!"
    })
    m.Run()
}

Features

Powerful routing with suburl.
Flexible routes combinations.
Unlimited nested group routers.
Directly integrate with existing services.
Dynamically change template files at runtime.
Allow to use in-memory template and static files.
Easy to plugin/unplugin features with modular design.
Handy dependency injection powered by inject.
Better router layer and less reflection make faster speed.

Middlewares

Middlewares allow you easily plugin/unplugin features for your Macaron applications.

There are already many middlewares to simplify your work:

render - Go template engine
static - Serves static files
gzip - Gzip compression to all responses
binding - Request data binding and validation
i18n - Internationalization and Localization
cache - Cache manager
session - Session manager
csrf - Generates and validates csrf tokens
captcha - Captcha service
pongo2 - Pongo2 template engine support
sockets - WebSockets channels binding
bindata - Embed binary data as static and template files
toolbox - Health check, pprof, profile and statistic services
oauth2 - OAuth 2.0 backend
authz - ACL/RBAC/ABAC authorization based on Casbin
switcher - Multiple-site support
method - HTTP method override
permissions2 - Cookies, users and permissions
renders - Beego-like render engine(Macaron has built-in template engine, this is another option)
piwik - Server-side piwik analytics
