```go
package main
import "github.com/kataras/iris/v12"
func main() {
app := iris.New()
app.Use(iris.Compression)
app.Get("/", func(ctx iris.Context) {
ctx.HTML("Hello %s!", "World")
})
app.Listen(":8080")
}
```
As one [Go developer](https://twitter.com/dkuye/status/1532087942696554497) once said, **Iris got you covered all-round and standing strong over the years**.

* API Versioning
* Model-View-Controller
* Websockets
* gRPC
* Auto-HTTPS
* Builtin support for ngrok to put your app on the internet, the fastest way
* Unique Router with dynamic path as parameter with standard types like :uuid, :string, :int... and the ability to create your own
* Compression
* View Engines (HTML, Django, Handlebars, Pug/Jade and more)
* Create your own File Server and host your own WebDAV server
* Cache
* Localization (i18n, sitemap)
* Sessions
