Overview

The Go API Boilerplate is a framework for building APIs in Go. It provides a variety of features and tools to facilitate the development process, including a web framework (Gin), a package manager (go mod), dependency injection based on a service container, layered architectural pattern, API routing, request/response conversion to JSON/XML, logging capabilities (logrus), environment variables and config management (Viper), ORM (GORM) for database operations, database migrations (gorm-goose), base CRUD services, repositories, and controllers, request validation using Gin, console commands (Cobra), unit tests with service overriding, code coverage analysis, integrations with Sentry for logging errors, alerting for unhandled errors, and Swagger documentation generation.
