Did you know you can create a REST API in Go using only the standard packages?

For my next go tutorial, I decided to actually demonstrate how to create a program. In this case, a REST API.

Shhh, its sleeping…

But not just any REST API, oh no. This one is built using only the standard package library available in go. While there are really nice resources for doing this, such as gorilla/mux, I wanted to demonstrate the power of the standard package library in go.

Code available here
