Fiber is an Express inspired web framework built on top of Fasthttp, the fastest HTTP engine for Go. Designed to ease things up for fast development with zero memory allocation and performance in mind.
package main
import "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2"
func main() {
app := fiber.New()
app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
return c.SendString("Hello, World 👋!")
})
app.Listen(":3000")
}These tests are performed by TechEmpower and Go Web. If you want to see all the results, please visit our Wiki.

New gophers that make the switch from Node.js to Go are dealing with a learning curve before they can start building their web applications or microservices. Fiber, as a web framework, was created with the idea of minimalism and follows the UNIX way, so that new gophers can quickly enter the world of Go with a warm and trusted welcome.
Fiber is inspired by Express, the most popular web framework on the Internet. We combined the ease of Express and raw performance of Go. If you have ever implemented a web application in Node.js (using Express or similar), then many methods and principles will seem very common to you.
We listen to our users in issues, Discord channel and all over the Internet to create a fast, flexible and friendly Go web framework for any task, deadline and developer skill! Just like Express does in the JavaScript world.
- Due to Fiber's usage of unsafe, the library may not always be compatible with the latest Go version. Fiber 2.40.0 has been tested with Go versions 1.16 to 1.19.
- Fiber is not compatible with net/http interfaces. This means you will not be able to use projects like gqlgen, go-swagger, or any others which are part of the net/http ecosystem.
Listed below are some of the common examples. If you want to see more code examples, please visit our Recipes repository or visit our hosted API documentation.

Fiber defaults to the html/template when no view engine is set.
If you want to execute partials or use a different engine like amber, handlebars, mustache or pug etc..
Checkout our Template package that support multiple view engines.
package main
import (
"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2"
"github.com/gofiber/template/pug"
)
func main() {
// You can setup Views engine before initiation app:
app := fiber.New(fiber.Config{
Views: pug.New("./views", ".pug"),
})
// And now, you can call template `./views/home.pug` like this:
app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
return c.Render("home", fiber.Map{
"title": "Homepage",
"year": 1999,
})
})
log.Fatal(app.Listen(":3000"))
}📖 Group
func middleware(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
fmt.Println("Don't mind me!")
return c.Next()
}
func handler(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
return c.SendString(c.Path())
}
func main() {
app := fiber.New()
// Root API route
api := app.Group("/api", middleware) // /api
// API v1 routes
v1 := api.Group("/v1", middleware) // /api/v1
v1.Get("/list", handler) // /api/v1/list
v1.Get("/user", handler) // /api/v1/user
// API v2 routes

}Here is a list of middleware that are included within the Fiber framework.
| Middleware | Description |
|---|---|
| basicauth | Basic auth middleware provides an HTTP basic authentication. It calls the next handler for valid credentials and 401 Unauthorized for missing or invalid credentials. |
| cache | Intercept and cache responses |
| compress | Compression middleware for Fiber, it supports deflate, gzip and brotli by default. |
| cors | Enable cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) with various options. |
| csrf | Protect from CSRF exploits. |
| encryptcookie | Encrypt middleware which encrypts cookie values. |
| envvar | Expose environment variables with providing an optional config. |
| etag | ETag middleware that lets caches be more efficient and save bandwidth, as a web server does not need to resend a full response if the content has not changed. |
| expvar | Expvar middleware that serves via its HTTP server runtime exposed variants in the JSON format. |
| favicon | Ignore favicon from logs or serve from memory if a file path is provided. |
| filesystem | FileSystem middleware for Fiber, special thanks and credits to Alireza Salary |
| limiter | Rate-limiting middleware for Fiber. Use to limit repeated requests to public APIs and/or endpoints such as password reset. |
| logger | HTTP request/response logger. |
| monitor | Monitor middleware that reports server metrics, inspired by express-status-monitor |
| pprof | Special thanks to Matthew Lee (@mthli) |
| proxy | Allows you to proxy requests to a multiple servers |
| recover | Recover middleware recovers from panics anywhere in the stack chain and handles the control to the centralized ErrorHandler. |
| requestid | Adds a requestid to every request. |
| session | Session middleware. NOTE: This middleware uses our Storage package. |
| skip | Skip middleware that skips a wrapped handler if a predicate is true. |
| timeout | Adds a max time for a request and forwards to ErrorHandler if it is exceeded. |
List of externally hosted middleware modules and maintained by the Fiber team.
| Middleware | Description |
|---|---|
| adaptor | Converter for net/http handlers to/from Fiber request handlers, special thanks to @arsmn! |
| helmet | Helps secure your apps by setting various HTTP headers. |
| jwt | JWT returns a JSON Web Token (JWT) auth middleware. |
| keyauth | Key auth middleware provides a key based authentication. |
| redirect | Redirect middleware |
| rewrite | Rewrite middleware rewrites the URL path based on provided rules. It can be helpful for backward compatibility or just creating cleaner and more descriptive links. |
| storage | Premade storage drivers that implement the Storage interface, designed to be used with various Fiber middlewares. |
| template | This package contains 8 template engines that can be used with Fiber v1.10.x Go version 1.13 or higher is required. |
| websocket | Based on Fasthttp WebSocket for Fiber with Locals support! |
