Why beego?

I used to use CI in PHP and tornado in Python, there are both lightweight, so they has following advantages:

Save time for handling general problems, I only need to care about logic part.
Learn more about languages by studying their source code, it's not hard to read and understand them because they are both lightweight frameworks.
It's quite easy to make secondary development of these frameworks for specific purposes.

Those reasons are my original intention of implementing beego, and used two chapters in my book to introduce and design this lightweight web framework in Go. read more ->

Synchronous

beego uses Go HTTP server underlying to serve each request in its own goroutine and logic processes without affecting others. Low pay of goroutines gives you ability to build high-concurrency web applications, like RESTful API services.

Stateless

beego provides session support in memory, files, Redis or MySQL and cache support in memory, Redis or Memcache. For simple usage, Beego also has thread-safe map for storing temporary data during the runtime.

Free & Open

beego gives developers freedom to replace or integrate default modules with customized implementations. You are also able to integrate third-party applications with customized http.Handler(router).

Hot Compile

Edit, save, and refresh. Bee tool compiles your code and templates when you're coding. Developers should put more focus on how to make things work not wait.

Simple & Powerful

Including intelligent routing, parameters filtering, templating, caching, validation, session, logging, hot upgrade, safe map, and even integrated third-party applications. All of these just need few lines of code.

High Performance

beego builds on top of the Go HTTP server, which was recently benchmarked to serve three to ten times as many requests as Rails across a variety of loads.
