Everything you need. Nothing you don’t.

Optimized Router

Radix-tree routing with zero dynamic allocation and smart route prioritization.

Batteries-included Middleware

CORS, JWT, rate-limit, gzip, recover, request logging — 25+ built in.

Data Binding

Bind JSON, XML, form, query & path params into typed structs.
var u User
if err := c.Bind(&u); err != nil {
  return err
}

Automatic TLS

HTTPS out of the box via Let’s Encrypt, plus HTTP/2 support.

Extensible

Composable middleware and a clean, minimal interface for total control.

Templates

Plug in any Go template engine for fast, flexible HTML rendering.

A running server in three steps.

  1. Install

    Create a module and add Echo.

    go mod init myapp
    go get github.com/labstack/echo/v5

  2. Write

    The core of server.go. Copy the full Hello World example for the imports and main.

    e := echo.New()
    

    // Middleware
    e.Use(middleware.RequestLogger())
    e.Use(middleware.Recover())
    

    // Route => handler
    e.GET("/", func(c *echo.Context) error {
      return c.String(http.StatusOK, "Hello, World!\n")
    })

  3. Run

    Fetch dependencies and start serving on port 1323.

    go mod tidy
    go run server.go
