This guide shows how to create a simple Mizu app from scratch. If you have used Go before, you will feel right at home.

​
Install Mizu

Run this command inside your Go project to install Mizu. 
go get github.com/go-mizu/mizu@latest
That is all you need. No extra setup or tools required.

​
Write your first app

Create a file called main.go and add this code. 
package main

import "github.com/go-mizu/mizu"

func main() {
	app := mizu.New()

	app.Get("/", func(c *mizu.Ctx) error {
		return c.Text(200, "Hello, Mizu!")
	})

	app.Listen(":3000")
}

​
Run the app

Start your server with: 
go run main.go
Then open http://localhost:3000 in your browser. You should see “Hello, Mizu!” on the page.

​
What’s next

Now that your first app is running, you can:
  • Add routes and return JSON or HTML responses.
  • Use middleware for logging and recovery.
  • Learn about graceful shutdowns for production use.
Mizu keeps things simple. You write normal Go code, and it takes care of the details.
