Go Iris Response Handling

This chapter introduces the way Go iris Web framework handles HTTP requests. Iris supports various data formats for responding to HTTP requests, including HTML, JSON, JSONP, XML, Markdown, and YAML.

Note: Iris primarily uses the parameters of the ctx context object to achieve data return in various formats.

Returning HTML data

app.Get("/", func(ctx iris.Context) {
    ctx.HTML("Hello <strong>%s</strong>!", "World")
})

Returning JSON data

app.Get("/json", func(ctx iris.Context) {
    ctx.JSON(iris.Map{"message": "hello", "status": iris.StatusOK})
})

Returning JSONP data

app.Get("/jsonp", func(ctx iris.Context) {
    ctx.JSONP(iris.Map{"hello": "jsonp"}, iris.JSONP{Callback: "callbackName"})
})

Returning XML data

app.Get("/xml", func(ctx iris.Context) {
    ctx.XML(iris.Map{"message": "hello", "status": iris.StatusOK})
})

Returning Markdown data

app.Get("/markdown", func(ctx iris.Context) {
    ctx.Markdown([]byte("# Hello Dynamic Markdown -- iris"))
})

Returning YAML data

app.Get("/yaml", func(ctx iris.Context) {
    ctx.YAML(iris.Map{"message": "hello", "status": iris.StatusOK})
})
