HTTP package guide

The gox/http package mirrors Express.js patterns: apps, routers, middleware, JSON handlers, and built-in security helpers.

Core routing

Express	gox
express()	http.New()
app.get('/path', handler)	app.Get("/path", handler)
res.json(data)	return c.JSON(200, data)
req.body	c.BindJSON(&v)
req.params.id	c.Param("id")

See: http.New, http.Ctx.JSON

Middleware

npm	gox
cors	http.CORS
helmet	http.Security
morgan	http.Logger
error handler	Return error from handlers; use gox/err for status codes

Advanced features

npm	gox
multer	http.ParseMultipart, http.SaveUploadedFile
express-session	http.SessionMiddleware, http.MemoryStore
Server-Sent Events	http.SSE, http.SSEHandler
express-rate-limit	http.RateLimit
WebSocket upgrade	http.HandleWS, gox/ws

Example

import (
    goxerr "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/err"
    goxhttp "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/http"
)

app := goxhttp.New()
app.Use(goxhttp.Logger(), goxhttp.Recover(), goxhttp.Security())

app.Get("/health", func(c *goxhttp.Ctx) error {
    return c.JSON(200, map[string]string{"status": "ok"})
})

app.Post("/users", func(c *goxhttp.Ctx) error {
    var u struct{ Name string `json:"name"` }
    if err := c.BindJSON(&u); err != nil {
        return goxerr.BadRequest("invalid json")
    }
    return c.JSON(201, u)
})
