Overview of this book

Echo is a leading framework for creating web applications with the Go language.  This book will show you how to develop scalable real-world web apps, RESTful services, and backend systems with Echo.  After a thorough understanding of the basics, you'll be introduced to all the concepts for a building real-world web system with Echo. You will start with the the Go HTTP standard library, and setting up your work environment. You will move on to Echo handlers, group routing, data binding, and middleware processing. After that, you will learn how to test your Go application and use templates.  By the end of this book you will be able to build your very own high performance apps using Echo. A Quick Start Guide is a focussed, shorter title which provides a faster paced introduction to a technology. They are for people who don’t need all the detail at this point in their learning curve. The presentation has been streamlined to concentrate on the things you really need to know, rather than everything.

Summary

Resource target routing is a complicated problem that can be solved in many different ways. When creating a web application with Echo, you can rest assured that the routing will allow you the flexibility you need to nest your logical groupings of routes. You can also take solace in the fact that the overhead related to the routing of your API will be very low, both in performance and allocations per request.

Within the next chapter, we will discover the benefits of having a built-in middleware chaining solution within the Echo framework. We will also take a look at all of the excellent contributed middleware functions that are included with the web framework that will help with logging, error handling, and authentication and authorization mechanisms.
