The enterprise REST API framework

Goyave an opinionated all-in-one Golang web framework focused on REST APIs, with emphasis on code reliability, maintainability and developer experience (DX).

In short, Goyave's goals are:

• Catering to companies with enterprise-level clean architecture, for medium to large projects
• Help developers focus on the business logic of their application instead of spending time on technical aspects
• Provide an all-in-one package with no setup friction
• Provide all the features a typical project needs without bloating or magic
• Provide an optimal setup for the real-world
• Ensure robust, reliable and resilient code
• Stay open and hackable despite being opinionated
• Make backend development easy and enjoyable
• Keep a clear and extensive documentation so developers can always find the answer to their questions

Goyave's non-goals are:

• Hyper-optimisation and performance
• Small projects and prototypes
• Providing control on low-level networking
• Providing tools for front-end development
