Features

• Lightweight - cloc'd in ~1000 LOC for the chi router
  Fast - yes, see benchmarks

• 100% compatible with net/http - use any http or middleware pkg in the
  ecosystem that is also compatible with net/http

• Designe, for modular/composable APIs - middlewares, inline middlewares,
  route groups and sub-router mounting

• Context control - built on new context package, providing value chaining,
  cancellations and timeouts

• Robust - in production at Pressly, CloudFlare, Heroku, 99Designs,
  and many others (see discussion)

• No external dependencies - plain ol' Go stdlib + net/http

Example in go

package main
import (
    "net/http"
    "github.com/go-chi/chi/v5"
    "github.com/go-chi/chi/v5/middleware"
)
func main() {
    r := chi.NewRouter()
    r.Use(middleware.Logger)
    r.Get("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
        w.Write([]byte("Hello World!"))
    })
    http.ListenAndServe(":3000", r)
}
