Development

GoFrame originated in Beijing in 2011, from a smart IoT platform project before many current IoT standards existed, and when Go’s standard library and ecosystem were not as rich. It wasn't until 2017 that GoFrame released its test version, and in 2018, during the 1024 programmer’s festival, it released the official v1.0 version, contributing to the Go ecosystem's development. Since its open-source launch, it has iterated quickly, growing widely favored by developers and enterprises, with many developers contributing. Originally designed for development teams, its development efficiency and maintainability are excellent, with high code quality and abundant unit tests and examples. GoFrame is currently the best Go development framework with localized Chinese documentation.
