## Echo
High performance, extensible, minimalist Go web framework.
-Echo is built on Go's standard `net/http` — and interoperates with it via `echo.WrapHandler` / `echo.WrapMiddleware` — adding the parts the standard library leaves to you: a fast radix-tree router, request binding (with a pluggable validator), a deep middleware ecosystem, and centralized error handling. Actively maintained, with `v5` as the current release line (see badges above for the latest version and most recent commit).
