+title: Routing Enhancements for Go 1.22
+date: 2024-02-13

+- Jonathan Amsterdam, on behalf of the Go team
+summary: Go 1.22's additions to patterns for HTTP routes.
+---
+
+Go 1.22 brings two enhancements to the `net/http` package's router: method
+matching and wildcards. These features let you express common routes as
+patterns instead of Go code. Although they are simple to explain and use,
+it was a challenge to come up with the right rules for selecting the winning
+pattern when several match a request.
+
+We made these changes as part of our continuing effort to make Go a great
+language for building production systems. We studied many third-party web
+frameworks, extracted what we felt were the most used features, and integrated
+them into `net/http`. Then we validated our choices and improved our design by
+collaborating with the community in a [GitHub discussion](
+https://github.com/golang/go/discussions/60227) and a [proposal issue](/issue/61410).
+Adding these features to the standard library means one fewer dependency for
+many projects. But third-party web frameworks remain a fine choice for current
+users or programs with advanced routing needs.
+
+## Enhancements
+
+The new routing features almost exclusively affect the pattern string passed
+to the two `net/http.ServeMux` methods `Handle` and `HandleFunc`, and the
+corresponding top-level functions `http.Handle` and `http.HandleFunc`. The only
+API changes are two new methods on `net/http.Request` for working with wildcard
+matches.
+
+We'll illustrate the changes with a hypothetical blog server in which every post
+has an integer identifier. A request like `GET /posts/234` retrieves the post with
+ID 234. Before Go 1.22, the code for handling those requests would start with a
+line like this:
+
+    http.Handle("/posts/", handlePost)
+
+The trailing slash routes all requests beginning `/posts/` to the `handlePost`
+function, which would have to check that the HTTP method was GET, extract
+the identifier, and retrieve the post. Since the method check isn't strictly
+necessary to satisfy the request, it would be a natural mistake to omit it. That
+would mean that a request like `DELETE /posts/234` would fetch the post, which
+is surprising at the least.
+
+In Go 1.22, the existing code will continue to work, or you could instead write this:
+
+    http.Handle("GET /posts/{id}", handlePost2)
+
+This pattern matches a GET request whose path begins "/posts/" and has two
+segments. (As a special case, GET also matches HEAD; all the other methods match
+exactly.) The `handlePost2` function no longer needs to check the method, and
+extracting the identifier string can be written using the new `PathValue` method
+on `Request`:
+
+    idString := req.PathValue("id")
+
+The rest of `handlePost2` would behave like `handlePost`, converting the string
+identifier to an integer and fetching the post.
+
+Requests like `DELETE /posts/234` will fail if no other matching pattern is
+registered. In accordance with [HTTP semantics](
+https://httpwg.org/specs/rfc9110.html#status.405), a `net/http` server will reply
+to such a request with a `405 Method Not Allowed` error that lists the available methods
+in an `Allow` header.
+
+A wildcard can match an entire segment, like `{id}` in the example above, or if
+it ends in `...` it can match all the remaining segments of the path, as in the
+pattern `/files/{pathname...}`.
+
+There is one last bit of syntax. As we showed above, patterns ending in a slash,
+like `/posts/`, match all paths beginning with that string. To match only the
+path with the trailing slash, you can write `/posts/{$}`. That will match
+`/posts/` but not `/posts` or `/posts/234`.
+
+And there is one last bit of API: `net/http.Request` has a `SetPathValue` method
+so that routers outside the standard library can make the results of their own
+path parsing available via `Request.PathValue`.
+
+## Precedence
+
+Every HTTP router must deal with overlapping patterns, like `/posts/{id}` and
+`/posts/latest`. Both of these patterns match the path "posts/latest", but at most
+one can serve the request. Which pattern takes precedence?
+
+Some routers disallow overlaps; others use the pattern that was registered last.
+Go has always allowed overlaps, and has chosen the longer pattern regardless
+of registration order. Preserving order-independence was important to us (and
+necessary for backwards compatibility), but we needed a better rule than
+"longest wins." That rule would select `/posts/latest` over `/posts/{id}`, but
+would choose `/posts/{identifier}` over both. That seems wrong: the wildcard
+name shouldn't matter. It feels like `/posts/latest` should always win this
+competition, because it matches a single path instead of many.
+
+Our quest for a good precedence rule led us to consider many properties of
+patterns. For example, we considered preferring the pattern with the longest
+literal (non-wildcard) prefix. That would choose `/posts/latest` over `/posts/
+{id}`. But it wouldn't distinguish between `/users/{u}/posts/latest` and
+`/users/{u}/posts/{id}`, and it seems like the former should take precedence.
+
+We eventually chose a rule based on what the patterns mean instead of how they
+look. Every valid pattern matches a set of requests. For example,
+`/posts/latest` matches requests with the path `/posts/latest`, while `/posts/{id}`
+matches requests with any two-segment path whose first segment is "posts". We
+say that one pattern is _more specific_ than another if it matches a strict subset
+of requests. The pattern `/posts/latest` is more specific than `/posts/{id}`
+because the latter matches every request that the former does, and more.
+
+The precedence rule is simple: the most specific pattern wins. This rule
+matches our intuition that `posts/latests` should be preferred to `posts/{id}`,
+and `/users/{u}/posts/latest` should be preferred to `/users/{u}/posts/{id}`.
+It also makes sense for methods. For example, `GET /posts/{id}` takes
+precedence over `/posts/{id}` because the first only matches GET and HEAD
+requests, while the second matches requests with any method.
+
+The "most specific wins" rule generalizes the original "longest wins" rule for
+the path parts of original patterns, those without wildcards or `{$}`. Such
+patterns only overlap when one is a prefix of the other, and the longer is the
+more specific.
+
+What if two patterns overlap but neither is more specific? For example, `/posts/{id}`
+and `/{resource}/latest` both match `/posts/latest`. There is no obvious answer to
+which takes precedence, so we consider these patterns to conflict with each other.
+Registering both of them (in either order!) will panic.
+
+The precedence rule works exactly as above for methods and paths, but we had to
+make one exception for hosts to preserve compatibility: if two patterns would
+otherwise conflict and one has a host while the other does not, then the pattern
+with the host takes precedence.
+
+Students of computer science may recall the beautiful theory of regular
+expressions and regular languages. Each regular expression picks out a regular
+language, the set of strings matched by the expression. Some questions are
+easier to pose and answer by talking about languages rather than expressions.
+Our precedence rule was inspired by this theory. Indeed, each routing pattern
+corresponds to a regular expression, and sets of matching requests play the role of
+regular languages.
+
+Defining precedence by languages instead of expressions makes it easy to state
+and understand. But there is a downside to having a rule based on potentially
+infinite sets: it isn't clear how to implement it efficiently. It turns out we
+can determine whether two patterns conflict by walking them segment by segment.
+Roughly speaking, if one pattern has a literal segment wherever the other has a
+wildcard, it is more specific; but if literals align with wildcards in both
+directions, the patterns conflict.
+
+As new patterns are registered on a `ServeMux`, it checks for conflicts with previously
+registered patterns. But checking every pair of patterns would take quadratic
+time. We use an index to skip patterns that cannot conflict with a new pattern;
+in practice, it works quite well. In any case, this check happens when
+patterns are registered, usually at server startup. The time to match incoming
+requests in Go 1.22 hasn't changed much from previous versions.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+We made every effort to keep the new functionality compatible with older
+versions of Go. The new pattern syntax is a superset of the old, and the new
+precedence rule generalizes the old one. But there are a few edge cases. For
+example, previous versions of Go accepted patterns with braces and treated
+them literally, but Go 1.22 uses braces for wildcards. The GODEBUG setting
+`httpmuxgo121` restores the old behavior.

+documentation](/pkg/net/http#ServeMux).
