In this chapter, we are going to cover topics related to using a framework for simplifying building REST services. First, we will take a quick look at go-restful, a REST API creation framework, and then move on to a framework called Gin. We will try to build a Metro Rail API in this chapter. The frameworks we are about to discuss are fully-fledged web frameworks which can also be used to create REST APIs in a short time. We will talk a lot about resources and REST verbs in this chapter. We will try to integrate a small database called Sqlite3 with our API. Finally, we will inspect Revel.go and see how to prototype our REST API with it.
Overall, the topics we will cover in this chapter are as follows:
- How to use SQLite3 in Go
- Creating a REST API with the go-restful package
- Introducing the Gin framework for creating a REST...
