Echo is built on Go's standard `net/http` and interoperates with it through `echo.WrapHandler` and `echo.WrapMiddleware`. It adds the parts the standard library leaves to you: a fast radix-tree router, request binding with pluggable validation, a deep middleware ecosystem, and centralized error handling. Echo is actively maintained, and `v5` is the current release line. - [Website](https://echo.labstack.com) - [Quick start](https://echo.labstack.com/guide/quickstart/) - [Middleware](https://echo.labstack.com/middleware/) - [API reference](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/labstack/echo/v5) - Help and questions: [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/labstack/echo/discussions) ### Features - Fast radix-tree [router](https://echo.labstack.com/guide/routing/) that prioritizes routes smartly - Route groups, with middleware at the root, group or route level - [Data binding](https://echo.labstack.com/guide/binding/) for JSON, XML, form, query and path parameters, with pluggable validation - Helpers for JSON, XML, HTML, file, stream and other responses - Centralized [error handling](https://echo.labstack.com/guide/error-handling/) - Structured request logging with `log/slog` - [Template rendering](https://echo.labstack.com/guide/templates/) with any template engine - TLS, [HTTP/2](https://echo.labstack.com/cookbook/http2/), [automatic TLS](https://echo.labstack.com/cookbook/auto-tls/) with Let's Encrypt, and [graceful shutdown](https://echo.labstack.com/cookbook/graceful-shutdown/) ## Used by Echo runs in production across the Go ecosystem, including: | Project | What runs on Echo | | --- | --- | | [Bluesky indigo](https://github.com/bluesky-social/indigo) | AT Protocol Relay and network services | | [Temporal UI](https://github.com/temporalio/ui) | Temporal Web UI server | | [NVIDIA Cloud Functions](https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvcf) | LLM API gateway | | [Azure Container Networking](https://github.com/Azure/azure-container-networking) | Container Networking Service REST API | | [osbuild-composer](https://github.com/osbuild/osbuild-composer) | Red Hat Image Builder cloud API | | [Docker Agent](https://github.com/docker/docker-agent) | Agent API, chat and A2A servers | | [YugabyteDB](https://github.com/yugabyte/yugabyte-db) | yugabyted UI API server | | [PostHog](https://github.com/PostHog/posthog) | Livestream service | | [Bytebase](https://github.com/bytebase/bytebase) | Backend server and API | | [Hatchet](https://github.com/hatchet-dev/hatchet) | API server | | [CasaOS](https://github.com/IceWhaleTech/CasaOS) | API server | | [Hanko](https://github.com/teamhanko/hanko) | Authentication backend | See [ADOPTERS.md](./ADOPTERS.md) for the full list.

If your company depends on Echo, please consider [sponsoring it](https://github.com/sponsors/labstack). ## Getting started ### Supported versions - `v5` is the current major version, released on 2026-01-18. See [API_CHANGES_V5.md](./API_CHANGES_V5.md) for the API changes from `v4` and upgrade notes. - `v4` receives security updates and bug fixes until 2026-12-31. See [ROADMAP.md](./ROADMAP.md) for where Echo is heading and the version support policy. ### Installation ```sh go get github.com/labstack/echo/v5 ``` Echo supports the three most recent Go [releases](https://go.dev/doc/devel/release) and may work with older ones. ### Example ```go package main import ( "log/slog" "net/http" "github.com/labstack/echo/v5" "github.com/labstack/echo/v5/middleware" ) func main() { // Echo instance e := echo.New() // Middleware e.Use(middleware.RequestLogger()) // log requests with log/slog e.Use(middleware.Recover()) // recover from panics and return an error // Routes e.GET("/", hello) // Start server if err := e.Start(":8080"); err != nil { slog.Error("failed to start server", "error", err) } } // Handler func hello(c *echo.Context) error { return c.String(http.StatusOK, "Hello, World!") } ``` More in the [guide](https://echo.labstack.com/guide/quickstart/) and the [cookbook](https://echo.labstack.com/cookbook/hello-world/). ## Middleware ### Official Maintained by the Echo team. | Repository | Description | | --- | --- | | [labstack/echo-jwt](https://github.com/labstack/echo-jwt) | [JWT](https://github.com/golang-jwt/jwt) authentication | | [labstack/echo-contrib](https://github.com/labstack/echo-contrib) | [Casbin](https://github.com/casbin/casbin), [gorilla/sessions](https://github.com/gorilla/sessions) and [pprof](https://pkg.go.dev/net/http/pprof) | | [labstack/echo-otel](https://github.com/labstack/echo-otel) | [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/) tracing and metrics | | [labstack/echo-prometheus](https://github.com/labstack/echo-prometheus) | [Prometheus](https://github.com/prometheus/client_golang/) metrics | ### Third-party These projects are maintained by their authors, not the Echo team.
