##  Introduction

[GoKoa](gokoa) is a Koa styled web framework, which aims at reducing learning cost in grasping web development in Go for Node.js developers.

GoKoa is written in Go, which is beneficial to improving performance in handling HTTP requests.

##  Prerequisites

1. [Go](go) >= 1.13

##  Installation

You can easily fetch the newest version of GoKoa by executing `go get`:

```bash

$ go get github.com/xiaojianzhong/gokoa

```

##  Quick Start

```go

package main

import (

	"github.com/xiaojianzhong/gokoa"

)

func main() {

	app := gokoa.NewApplication(nil)

	app.Use(func(ctx *gokoa.Context, fn func() error) error {

		ctx.SetBody("hello gokoa")

		return nil

	})

	app.Listen(8080)

}

```

##  What Are NOT Implemented

1. lack of event emitting, except for `app.OnError()`

2. not able to customize HTTP reason phrase (don't do that cause it breaks the best practice)

3. not able to bypass GoKoa's response handling (actually it is deprecated by Koa, too)

4. not able to access the socket related to a HTTP connection

5. lack of `headerSent` property
