Getting Gin
With Go module support, simply add the following import
import "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
to your code, and then go [build|run|test]

Otherwise, run the following Go command to install the gin
package:
$ go get -u github.com/gin-gonic/ginRunning Gin
First you need to import Gin package for using Gin, one simplest example likes the follow example.go
:
package mainimport ( "net/http"
"github.com/gin-gonic/gin" )
func main() { r := gin.Default() r.GET("/ping", func(c *gin.Context) { c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{ "message": "pong", }) }) r.Run() // listen and serve on 0.0.0.0:8080 (for windows "localhost:8080") }
And use the Go command to run the demo:
# run example.go and visit 0.0.0.0:8080/ping on browser
$ go run example.go
