Learn what [others say about Iris](#support) and [star](https://github.com/kataras/iris/stargazers) this github repository to stay [up to date](https://facebook.com/iris.framework).
Iris takes advantage of the [vendor directory](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Bz5-UB7g2uPBdOx-rw5t9MxJwkfpx90cqG9AFL0JAYo) feature. You get truly reproducible builds, as this method guards against upstream renames and deletes.

## Learn
First of all, the most correct way to begin with a web framework is to learn the basics of the programming language and the standard `http` capabilities, if your web application is a very simple personal project without performance and maintainability requirements you may want to proceed just with the standard packages. After that follow the guidelines:
- Navigate through **100+1****[examples](_examples)** and some [iris starter kits](#iris-starter-kits) we crafted for you
- Read the [godocs](https://godoc.org/github.com/kataras/iris) for any details
> Did you build something similar? Let us [know](https://github.com/kataras/iris/pulls)!
### Middleware
Iris has a great collection of handlers[[1]](middleware/)[[2]](https://github.com/iris-contrib/middleware) that you can use side by side with your web apps. However you are not limited to them - you are free to use any third-party middleware that is compatible with the [net/http](https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/) package, [_examples/convert-handlers](_examples/convert-handlers) will show you the way.
Iris, unlike others, is 100% compatible with the standards and that's why the majority of the big companies that adapt Go to their workflow, like a very famous US Television Network, trust Iris; it's up-to-date and it will be always aligned with the std `net/http` package which is modernized by the Go Authors on each new release of the Go Programming Language.
