Melon

Lightweight Go framework for building web services, inspired by Dropwizard.

Overview

Melon is a partial port of Dropwizard in Go.
Besides of builtin Go packages, it utilizes a number of libraries
in order to build a server stack quickly, including:

• mux: a popular HTTP multiplexer.
• gol: a simple hierarchical logging API.
• metrics: a minimalist instrumentation library.
• validator: an extensible value validator.

Features supported:

• Commands: for controlling your application from command line.
• Bundles: for modularizing your application.
• Managed Objects: for starting and stopping your components.
• HealthChecks: for checking health of your application in production.
• Metrics: for monitoring and statistics.
• Tasks: for administration.
• Resources: for RESTful endpoints.
• Filters: for injecting middlewares.
• Logging: for understanding behaviors of your application.
• Configuration: for application parameters.
• Banner: for fun. :)
• and more...

Examples
