gorp

I've picked out the following that I like: - Gorp[1] for SQL stuff (I like that it "encourages" your program data structure to reflect your DB structure) - amber[2] for templating - gorilla/mux[3] for routing - gorilla/securecookie[4] for login/auth management (they have a sessions and context library too if you want that) Go also has libraries that handle basic versions of most of these tasks (and these third-party libraries extend them). If you're building something simple they might be sufficient.

I've been using go-json-rest, which is by way of "just enough on top of net/http to make APIs easier." https://ant0ine.github.io/go-json-rest/ Gorilla is useful, but more for its range of standalone components than as a framework. https://github.com/gorilla Then you'll want database-related packages like redigo and gorp. https://github.com/garyburd/redigo https://github.com/go-gorp/gorp
