Why go-zero?

Section titled “Why go-zero?”

Simple Code Generation

Generate Go, API, and RPC code from simple definitions using goctl. Less boilerplate, more productivity.

Built-in Resilience

Circuit breakers, rate limiting, adaptive load shedding, and timeout control work automatically. No extra configuration needed.

High Performance

Zero-allocation router, efficient serialization, and optimized middleware chain for production-grade throughput.

Battle Tested

Used by thousands of companies in production, handling millions of requests daily.

Quick Example

Section titled “Quick Example”
// Define your API in a .api file
type (
    LoginReq {
        Username string `json:"username"`
        Password string `json:"password"`
    }


    LoginResp {
        Token string `json:"token"`
    }
)


service user-api {
    @handler Login
    post /api/user/login (LoginReq) returns (LoginResp)
}

Then generate everything with one command:

Terminal window
goctl api go -api user.api -dir .

That’s it. You get a complete, production-ready API server with routing, validation, middleware support, and error handling.
