[ANN]: golax, a framework to build REST APIs

[Gerardo Oscar JT]

Hello, this is my first intervention in this forum.

I'd like to introduce you golax (https://github.com/fulldump/golax) a framework

to build REST APIs from a different perspective: using nodes instead of full

paths, and `interceptors` instead of middlewares.

From my humble point of view it is a powerful approach to the REST APIs 

world.

Have a good day!

Looks pretty clean, at a glance. Have you done any performance testing against some of the most popular alternatives?

The `example` project that came with the golax code is a basic CRUD over a `users` collection. These are the results with a i3 350M cpu:

ab -n 100000 -c 100 http://localhost:8000/service/v1/users/

Requests per second:    15339.26 [#/sec] (mean)

ab -n 100000 -c 100 http://localhost:8000/service/v1/users/2

Requests per second:    15172.22 [#/sec] (mean)

It is very interesting to compare it with others like Gorilla, I will publish a comparative.

Please, find attached the full ab output file.

I have just uploaded a small project (https://github.com/fulldump/golax-performance) to compare against an implementation with gorilla.

The golax implementation is the same as the example that comes with the framework but with logging (that is the reason why performance is 12K tps instead of 15K tps I said in my previous comment).

At first glance is faster than gorilla!
