golang-gin-api — Core REST API Development

Build production-grade REST APIs with Go and Gin. This skill covers the 80% of patterns you need daily: server setup, routing, request binding, response formatting, and error handling.

When to Use

• Creating a new Go REST API or HTTP server
• Adding routes, handlers, or middleware to a Gin app
• Binding and validating incoming JSON/query/URI parameters
• Structuring a Go project with a layered project structure
• Wiring handlers → services → repositories in main.go
• Returning consistent JSON error responses
