Notes

• net/http provides an HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 compliant protocol implementation.
• There is support for SSL/TLS.
• Adding routing and middleware to your applications requires only a few simple patterns.

Code Review

Web API
Sample code that provides best practices for building a RESTful API in Go. It leverages the standard library except for the router where a package named httptreemux is used. This router provides some nice conveniences such as handling verbs and access to parameters.
