examples
A repository to host examples and tutorials for Gin.
A collection of runnable Go code examples showing how to use the Gin web framework for common tasks like building APIs, adding middleware, and handling requests.
This repository is a collection of runnable example programs for Gin, a web framework written in the Go programming language. Gin is a popular tool for building web servers and APIs, and this repository exists to show developers how to use it for various common tasks. The README itself is sparse and does not describe individual examples. It points readers to Gin's separate documentation site for instructions on running the examples.
The examples are maintained by the Gin project team and hosted under the official gin-gonic GitHub organization. Automated checks run against the repository to scan for security issues and code style problems. Contributions are accepted: if an example is missing, the project invites developers to open an issue or submit a pull request.
This repository is useful primarily to developers learning Gin or looking for working reference code. It is not an application or a library that end users would install. Someone without programming experience in Go would not have a direct use for it, as all the content consists of Go source code files meant to be read and executed by developers.
Where it fits
- Copy a working Gin route handler into your own Go web project as a starting point.
- Learn how to add middleware like logging or authentication to a Gin server.
- Reference real runnable examples to understand how Gin handles routing and request processing.
- Test specific Gin features locally by running the bundled example programs.
