=================================== ''gimlet -- HTTP/JSON API Toolkit

gimlet is a simple collection of tools for creating simple versioned JSON/HTTP APIs. It builds on standard library tools and components of gorilla <http://www.gorillatoolkit.org/>_ (mux) and negroni <https://github.com/codegangsta/negroni>_.

The goal:

• Allow developers to implement HTTP/JSON APIs by writing http.HandlerFunc <http://golang.org/pkg/net/#HandlerFunc>_ methods and passing encoding/json <http://golang.org/pkg/encoding/json/>_ marshallable types to simple response-writing methods.

• Make it easy to define a set of routes with a version prefix, and manage the version prefix at the routing layer rather than in handlers.

• Reuse common components as necessary, and avoid recreating existing tools or making a large inflexible tool.

In short I was writing a JSON/HTTP API, and wanted the above properties and found that I had written a little library that didn't really have anything to do with the app I was writing so I'm spinning it out both because I want to use this in my next project and I hope you may find it useful.
