# 🚀 Fiber 
[](https://github.com/gofiber/fiber/releases)  [](https://godoc.org/github.com/gofiber/fiber)  [](https://github.com/gofiber/fiber/blob/master/LICENSE) [](https://gitter.im/gofiber/community) [](https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/gofiber/fiber)
**[Fiber](https://github.com/gofiber/fiber)** is an [Express.js](https://expressjs.com/en/4x/api.html) styled HTTP web framework implementation running on [Fasthttp](https://github.com/valyala/fasthttp), the **fastest** HTTP engine for Go (Golang). The package make use of **similar framework convention** as they are in Express.
People switching from [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/about/) to [Go](https://golang.org/doc/) often end up in a bad learning curve to start building their webapps, this project is meant to **ease** things up for **fast** development, but with **zero memory allocation** and **performance** in mind.
## API Documentation
📚 We created an extended **API documentation** (_including examples_), **[Visit fiber.wiki](https://fiber.wiki/)**.

- [Extended documentation](https://fiber.wiki/)
## Installing
Assuming you’ve already installed Go `1.11+` 😉
Install the [Fiber](https://github.com/gofiber/fiber) package by calling the following command:
```bash
go get -u github.com/gofiber/fiber
```
## Hello, world!
Embedded below is essentially the simplest Fiber app you can create:
```go
// server.go
package main
import "github.com/gofiber/fiber"
func main() {
// Create new Fiber instance
app := fiber.New()
// Create new route with GET method
app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) {
c.Send("Hello, World!")
})
// Start server on http://localhost:8080
app.Listen(8080)
}
```
Go to console and run:
```bash
go run server.go
```
And now, browse to `http://localhost:8080` and you should see `Hello, World!` on the page! 🎉
## Static files
To serve static files, use the [Static](https://fiber.wiki/application#static) method:
```go
package main
import "github.com/gofiber/fiber"
func main() {
// Create new Fiber instance
app := fiber.New()
// Serve all static files on ./public folder
app.Static("./public")
// Start server on http://localhost:8080
app.Listen(8080)
}
```
Now, you can load the files that are in the public directory:
```bash
http://localhost:8080/hello.html
http://localhost:8080/js/script.js
http://localhost:8080/css/style.css
```
## Middleware
Middleware has never been so easy! Just like Express you call the `Next()` matching route function:
```go
package main
import "github.com/gofiber/fiber"
func main() {
// Create new Fiber instance
app := fiber.New()
// Define all used middleware in Use()
app.Use(func(c *fiber.Ctx) {
c.Write("Match anything!\n")
c.Next()
})
app.Use("/api", func(c *fiber.Ctx) {
c.Write("Match starting with /api\n")
c.Next()
})
app.Get("/api/user", func(c *fiber.Ctx) {
c.Write("Match exact path /api/user\n")
})
// Start server on http://localhost:8080
app.Listen(8080)
}
```
