Quick Example ​

go
package main

import (
    "github.com/ginjigo/ginji"
    "github.com/ginjigo/ginji/middleware"
)

func main() {
    app := ginji.New()

    // Security
    app.Use(middleware.SecureStrict())
    app.Use(middleware.RateLimitPerMinute(100))

    // Operations
    app.Use(middleware.Recovery())
    app.Use(middleware.Logger())
    app.Use(middleware.Health())

    // Routes
    app.Get("/", func(c *ginji.Context) {
        c.JSON(ginji.StatusOK, ginji.H{
            "message": "Hello, Ginji!",
        })
    })

    app.Listen(":3000")
}
