Iris is a fast, simple yet fully featured and very efficient web framework for Go.
It provides a beautifully expressive and easy to use foundation for your next website or API.
```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**.
