Component Overview

Revel aims to provide a set of web application components. A list of those components, along with notes on how those components will be provided or implemented, follows:

• Routing
• A custom regex matcher.
• ORM
• No plan or candidate packages. Goal will be something Ebean-like.
• Http/Request/Response/Session/Flash
• Maybe Gorilla sessions (although, its session equates to the Play! Cache, with no replacement for the Play! session).
• Form validation
• A custom library similar to the Play! one.
• Data binding
• The Gorilla schema package looks like a good fit.
• Templating
• Swappability is important
• Default will be the new Go templates
• Mustache (or handlebars?) should also be supported out of the box.
• Interceptors
• Helpful Libraries (XML, File IO, WS, OAuth, Email, Images)
• Async programming (suspend, resume)
• Websockets
• Internationalization

Also worth some thought is if goroutines could be used to good effect.
