pkg-http-std

What problem does it solve?

It streamlines the development of reliable, secure, and efficient HTTP servers and clients in Go, reducing setup complexity and runtime errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Server Configuration: Simplify setting timeouts, error logging, and graceful shutdown for production Go servers.
• HTTP Client: Implement custom, timeout-aware HTTP clients with advanced redirect handling, TLS, and connection pooling.
• Routing & Middleware: Use Go 1.22's ServeMux with path parameters and method routing, plus chainable middleware for request tracing and validation.
• Request Handling & Validation: Parse and validate JSON payloads securely with body size limits and strict decoding.
• Testing & Debugging: Use built-in testing patterns for unit tests and integration tests with httptest.
• Reverse Proxy: Forward requests to backend services with error handling and response modification.

Quick Start

Use the Go standard library net/http to set up a secure server that handles routes, parses JSON, and performs graceful shutdown.
