In Go 1.22 the ServeMux was updated to be significantly easier to use for building web applications. Supported was added for HTTP methods, variables in URL paths, and more. In this article we discuss how it stacks up to some third party libraries that have existed in the Go ecosystemf or a while.
An incredibly common question I get when helping people learn web development is, "Why can’t I pass this handler function into a function that expects an http.Handler?" It is a logical question. The compiler can automatically convert those functions into the http.HandlerFunc type, so why can't it take the next step and infer that it also implements the Handler interface? Learn why (and more) in this article!
