go-http-server-routes

What problem does it solve?

The skill addresses the difficulty of defining concise, method-aware routes and complex path patterns in Go's standard net/http ServeMux before Go 1.22, which required manual parsing and custom logic.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Method matching: Prefix routes with HTTP verbs (GET, POST, etc.) directly in patterns.
• Single-segment and multi-segment wildcards: {id} and {path...} to capture variables.
• Exact trailing-slash matching using {$} for precise endpoint control.
• Precedence and conflict detection ensures deterministic routing and panics on ambiguous patterns.
• Use case: Build a RESTful API with CRUD endpoints such as GET /api/posts/{id}, POST /api/posts, PUT /api/posts/{id}, DELETE /api/posts/{id} without external routers.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to generate a Go HTTP server that uses the new routing syntax to provide CRUD endpoints for a “posts” resource.
