Mach

Mach is a minimalist web framework for Go, inspired by Python's Bottle and designed for developers who value simplicity and performance. It is built directly on top of the Go standard library's net/http package, leveraging the powerful new routing capabilities introduced in Go 1.22.

Why Mach?

• 🚀 Go 1.22+ Routing: Leverages stdlib pattern matching for path parameters and wildcards.
• ⚡ Context Pooling: Minimal allocations in hot paths using sync.Pool for optimal performance.
• 🎯 Standard Patterns: No magic, just clean and idiomatic Go code.
• 📦 Zero Dependencies: Core framework uses only the Go standard library.
• 🔧 Middleware Ready: Built-in Logger, Recovery, and CORS middleware.
• 🛡️ Production Ready: Graceful shutdown, timeouts, and TLS support out of the box.
