    // chi or net/http
}

func handler(c *http.Ctx) error {
    return c.JSON(200, map[string]string{"hello": "world"})
}

func handler(c *http.Ctx) error {
    return c.JSON(200, map[string]string{"hello": "world"})

Stack Logger, Recover, and Security middleware the way you would morgan + helmet in Express.

Standard library alternative

Use the standard library directly:

func handler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    // chi or net/http
}
