Echo is a high-performance, extensible, minimalist Go web framework. Created by Vishal Rana (LabStack), Echo provides a smart router, middleware, data binding/rendering for JSON/XML/form, HTTP/2 support, and automatic TLS via Let’s Encrypt.
It strikes a balance between performance and ergonomics — its API feels lighter than Gin while staying near the top of performance benchmarks.
