Express-style HTTP routing for Go with fasthttp under the hood for APIs and microservices that care about throughput.
JSON APIs and internal services in Go
GoFiber brings a familiar middleware and route style to Go while leaning on fasthttp for performance. It maps cleanly to backend frameworks work inside the frameworks and libraries part of your stack. Teams pick it when net/http ergonomics feel verbose but they still want a lightweight library instead of a full batteries-included framework.
