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

Within this chapter, we have covered quite a few important aspects of the Echo framework. These aspects include context, request binding, and response rendering. We have compared and contrasted the difficulties in designing a web framework that will allow us to abstract business logic into middleware by passing the context from one handler function to the next in the processing chain. We also discovered the key features of the Echo Context, as well as the useful features for binding and validating of data, as well as rendering responses.

The next chapter will be dedicated to logging and error handling capabilities within the Echo framework. We will cover how best to organize your code to take advantage of logging. We will also explain how errors are handled within Echo.
