gox — Node-friendly Go toolkit
🚀

Express-style HTTP

Routes, middleware, CORS, Helmet-style security, sessions, multipart uploads, SSE, rate limits, and WebSocket upgrades — with familiar handler signatures.

🧩

lodash & Array helpers

Generic Map, Filter, Reduce, GroupBy, object Pick/Omit/Merge, and Set operations — typed with Go generics, zero reflection magic.

🗄️

Full data layer

Zod-like validation, Knex-style SQL, Redis, MongoDB, JSON helpers, Bull-like queues, and LRU caching — import only what you need.

🔐

Security & identity

bcrypt, JWT sign/verify, UUID/nanoid, and Passport-style Bearer, API key, and Basic auth middleware.

📦

Independent packages

No monolithic framework — each package is a separate import path with minimal coupling and documented escape hatches to underlying drivers.

📖

Side-by-side docs

Every API page shows Node.js, standard Go, and gox examples so you always know what you are replacing and why.

Side-by-side: the gox difference ​

Every API reference includes a three-way comparison. Here is a taste:

js
const adults = users
  .filter(u => u.age >= 18)
  .map(u => ({ ...u, label: u.age >= 21 ? 'legal' : 'minor' }));
go
var adults []User
for _, u := range users {
    if u.Age < 18 {
        continue
    }
    label := "minor"
    if u.Age >= 21 {
        label = "legal"
    }
    adults = append(adults, User{ /* copy fields */, Label: label })
}
go
import (
    "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/cond"
    "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/slice"
)

adults := slice.Map(
    slice.Filter(users, func(u User) bool { return u.Age >= 18 }),
    func(u User) User {
        u.Label = cond.If(u.Age >= 21, "legal", "minor")
        return u
    },
)
