[these questions](https://github.com/kataras/iris/issues?q=label%3Aquestion) or navigate to the [community chat][Chat]. Philosophy ------------ The Iris philosophy is to provide robust tooling for HTTP, making it a great solution for single page applications, web sites, hybrids, or public HTTP APIs. Iris does not force you to use any specific ORM or template engine. With support for the most used template engines, you can quickly craft the perfect application. Iris is built on top of fasthttp (http basic layer), net/http middleware will not work by default on Iris, but you can convert any net/http middleware to Iris, see [middleware](https://github.com/iris-contrib/middleware) repository to see how. If for any personal reasons you think that Iris+fasthttp is not suitable for you, but you don't want to miss the unique features that Iris provides, you can take a look at the HTTP2 [Q web framework](https://github.com/kataras/q). ## Benchmarks This Benchmark test aims to compare the whole HTTP request processing between Go web frameworks. ![Benchmark Wizzard July 21, 2016- Processing Time Horizontal Graph](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/smallnest/go-web-framework-benchmark/4db507a22c964c9bc9774c5b31afdc199a0fe8b7/benchmark.png) **The results have been updated on July 21, 2016** Testing ------------ Community should write third-party or iris base tests to the [iris-contrib/tests repository](https://github.com/iris-contrib/tests). I recommend writing your API tests using this new library, [httpexpect](https://github.com/gavv/httpexpect) which supports Iris and fasthttp now, after my request [here](https://github.com/gavv/httpexpect/issues/2). Versioning ------------ Current: **v4.2.7** > Iris is an active project Read more about Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 - http://semver.org/ - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_versioning - https://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamGuide#Releases_and_Versions Todo ------------ - [x] Use of the standard `log.Logger` instead of the `iris-contrib/logger`(colorful logger), make these changes to all middleware, examples and plugins. - [x] Implement, even, a better way to manage configuration/options, devs will be able to set their own custom options inside there. ` I'm thinking of something the last days, but it will have breaking changes. ` - [ ] Implement an internal updater, as requested [here](https://github.com/kataras/iris/issues/401). Iris is a **Community-Driven** Project, waiting for your suggestions and [feature requests](https://github.com/kataras/iris/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=label%3A%22feature%20request%22)! I, as the author of this package, am working full time on this package, no time to any other job, so if you're **willing to donate** and you can **afford it** please click [here](DONATIONS.md), thank you! People ------------ The big thanks goes to [all people](https://github.com/kataras/iris/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=label%3A%22feature+request%22) who help building this framework with feature-requests & bug reports!
