# xfw: all-in-one REST API
**xfw** is a self-working API coded in *Go*:
- It allows anyone to create a fully featured REST API
- it can be used in *Go* as a library, or as a proxy to launch external commands (*e.g. php scripts*)
It is based on the *all-in-config* idea, where you only have a configuration file, and your implementation and it works without no further work.
Here's a taste of some features:
- human-readable json configuration
- nested routes (*i.e. `/user/:id:` vs. `/user/post/:id:`*)
- useful http methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE
- manage URL, query and body arguments:
- multipart/form-data
- application/x-www-form-urlencoded
- application/json
- required vs. optional parameters with a default value
- parameter renaming
- generic authentication system (*i.e. you can override the built-in*)
- generic type check (*i.e. implement your types alongside built-in types*)
