About Echo
Echo is a minimalist web framework for Go that focuses on speed and a clear API. It includes a fast router, built-in middleware and helpers for binding data from requests into Go structs.
What it does
You register handlers for routes and add middleware for tasks such as logging, recovery, CORS and rate limiting. Binding functions read JSON, XML, form data and path parameters into structs with one call. Echo also supports TLS and HTTP/2, and it can render HTML templates or use another renderer through a simple interface.
Key features
- Fast radix-tree router with static paths first
- CORS, CSRF, rate limiting and gzip middleware
- Bind JSON, XML and form data into structs
- TLS and HTTP/2 support
Who it's for
Go developers who want a small, fast framework with batteries included. It suits API services and web apps, especially teams that prefer explicit middleware and typed handlers.
Pricing and good to know
Echo is open source under the MIT licence and free to use. A separate paid add-on, Echo Pro, is also offered for multi-tenant auth and quotas, and the page describes founding pricing for early customers. The core framework does not depend on it.
