Introducing Custom Tabs for Org Alerts
Create and share saved alert views with custom tabs on the org alerts page, making it easier for teams to return to consistent, named filter sets.
Gin is a web framework written in Go. It features a martini-like API with performance that is up to 40 times faster thanks to httprouter. If you need performance and good productivity, you will love Gin.
Gin's key features are:
Gin requires Go version 1.23 or above.
With Go's module support, go [build|run|test] automatically fetches the necessary dependencies when you add the import in your code:
import "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
Alternatively, use go get:
go get -u github.com/gin-gonic/gin
A basic example:
package main
import (
"net/http"
"github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)
func main() {
r := gin.Default()
r.GET("/ping", func(c *gin.Context) {
c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{
"message": "pong",
})
})
r.Run() // listen and serve on 0.0.0.0:8080 (for windows "localhost:8080")
}
To run the code, use the go run command, like:
go run example.go
Then visit 0.0.0.0:8080/ping in your browser to see the response!
Learn and practice with the Gin Quick Start, which includes API examples and builds tag.
A number of ready-to-run examples demonstrating various use cases of Gin are available in the Gin examples repository.
See the API documentation on go.dev.
The documentation is also available on gin-gonic.com in several languages:
Gin uses a custom version of HttpRouter, see all benchmarks.
