Fiber is an Express inspired web framework built on top of Fasthttp, the fastest HTTP engine for Go. Designed to ease things up for fast development with zero memory allocation and performance in mind.
⚡️

func main() {
app := fiber.New()
app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
return c.SendString("Hello, World 👋!")

Philosophy
New gophers that make the switch from Node.js to Go are dealing with a learning curve before they can start building their web applications or microservices. Fiber, as a web framework, was created with the idea of minimalism and follows the UNIX way, so that new gophers can quickly enter the world of Go with a warm and trusted welcome.
Fiber is inspired by Express, the most popular web framework on the Internet. We combined the ease of Express and raw performance of Go. If you have ever implemented a web application in Node.js (using Express or similar), then many methods and principles will seem very common to you.
We listen to our users in issues, Discord channel and all over the Internet to create a fast, flexible and friendly Go web framework for any task, deadline and developer skill! Just like Express does in the JavaScript world.

Examples
Listed below are some of the common examples. If you want to see more code examples , please visit our Recipes repository or visit our hosted API documentation.
📖
Basic Routing
func main() {
app := fiber.New()
// GET /john
app.Get("/:name", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
msg := fmt.Sprintf("Hello, %s 👋!", c.Params("name"))
return c.SendString(msg) // => Hello john 👋!
})
// GET /john/75
app.Get("/:name/:age/:gender?", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
msg := fmt.Sprintf("👴 %s is %s years old", c.Params("name"), c.Params("age"))
return c.SendString(msg) // => 👴 john is 75 years old
})
// GET /dictionary.txt
app.Get("/:file.:ext", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
msg := fmt.Sprintf("📃 %s.%s", c.Params("file"), c.Params("ext"))
return c.SendString(msg) // => 📃 dictionary.txt
})
// GET /flights/LAX-SFO
app.Get("/flights/:from-:to", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
msg := fmt.Sprintf("💸 From: %s, To: %s", c.Params("from"), c.Params("to"))
return c.SendString(msg) // => 💸 From: LAX, To: SFO
})
// GET /api/register
app.Get("/api/*", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
msg := fmt.Sprintf("✋ %s", c.Params("*"))
return c.SendString(msg) // => ✋ register
})
log.Fatal(app.Listen(":3000"))
}
📖
Serving Static Files
func main() {
app := fiber.New()
app.Static("/", "./public")
// => http://localhost:3000/js/script.js
// => http://localhost:3000/css/style.css
app.Static("/prefix", "./public")
// => http://localhost:3000/prefix/js/script.js
// => http://localhost:3000/prefix/css/style.css
app.Static("*", "./public/index.html")
// => http://localhost:3000/any/path/shows/index/html
log.Fatal(app.Listen(":3000"))
}
📖
Middleware & Next
func main() {
app := fiber.New()
// Match any route
app.Use(func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
fmt.Println("🥇 First handler")
return c.Next()
})
// Match all routes starting with /api
app.Use("/api", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
fmt.Println("🥈 Second handler")
return c.Next()
})
// GET /api/register
app.Get("/api/list", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
fmt.Println("🥉 Last handler")
return c.SendString("Hello, World 👋!")
})
log.Fatal(app.Listen(":3000"))
}

Views engines
Fiber defaults to the html/template when no view engine is set.
If you want to execute partials or use a different engine like amber, handlebars, mustache or pug etc..
Checkout our Template package that support multiple view engines.
package main
import (
"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2"
"github.com/gofiber/template/pug"
)
func main() {
// You can setup Views engine before initiation app:
app := fiber.New(fiber.Config{
Views: pug.New("./views", ".pug"),
})
// And now, you can call template `./views/home.pug` like this:
app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
return c.Render("home", fiber.Map{
"title": "Homepage",
"year": 1999,
})
})
log.Fatal(app.Listen(":3000"))
}
Grouping routes into chains
func middleware(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
fmt.Println("Don't mind me!")
return c.Next()
}
func handler(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
return c.SendString(c.Path())
}
func main() {
app := fiber.New()
// Root API route
api := app.Group("/api", middleware) // /api
// API v1 routes
v1 := api.Group("/v1", middleware) // /api/v1
v1.Get("/list", handler) // /api/v1/list
v1.Get("/user", handler) // /api/v1/user
// API v2 routes
v2 := api.Group("/v2", middleware) // /api/v2
v2.Get("/list", handler) // /api/v2/list
v2.Get("/user", handler) // /api/v2/user
// ...
}
Middleware logger
package main
import (
"log"
"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2"
"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2/middleware/logger"
)
func main() {
app := fiber.New()
app.Use(logger.New())
// ...
log.Fatal(app.Listen(":3000"))
}
Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS)
import (
"log"
"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2"
"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2/middleware/cors"
)
func main() {
app := fiber.New()
app.Use(cors.New())
// ...
log.Fatal(app.Listen(":3000"))
}
Check CORS by passing any domain in Origin header:
curl -H "Origin: http://example.com" --verbose http://localhost:3000
Custom 404 response
func main() {
app := fiber.New()
app.Static("/", "./public")
app.Get("/demo", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
return c.SendString("This is a demo!")
})
app.Post("/register", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
return c.SendString("Welcome!")
})
// Last middleware to match anything
app.Use(func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
return c.SendStatus(404)
// => 404 "Not Found"
})
log.Fatal(app.Listen(":3000"))
}
JSON Response
type User struct {
Name string `json:"name"`
Age int `json:"age"`
}
func main() {
app := fiber.New()
app.Get("/user", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
return c.JSON(&User{"John", 20})
// => {"name":"John", "age":20}
})
app.Get("/json", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
return c.JSON(fiber.Map{
"success": true,
"message": "Hi John!",
})
// => {"success":true, "message":"Hi John!"}
})
log.Fatal(app.Listen(":3000"))
}
WebSocket Upgrade
import (
"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2"
"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2/middleware/websocket"
)
func main() {
app := fiber.New()
app.Get("/ws", websocket.New(func(c *websocket.Conn) {
for {
mt, msg, err := c.ReadMessage()
if err != nil {
log.Println("read:", err)
break
}
log.Printf("recv: %s", msg)
err = c.WriteMessage(mt, msg)
if err != nil {
log.Println("write:", err)
break
}
}
}))
log.Fatal(app.Listen(":3000"))
// ws://localhost:3000/ws
}
Recover middleware
import (
"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2"
"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2/middleware/recover"
)
func main() {
app := fiber.New()
app.Use(recover.New())
app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
panic("normally this would crash your app")
})
log.Fatal(app.Listen(":3000"))
}
