package main

import (
	"github.com/labstack/echo"
	"github.com/labstack/echo/engine/fasthttp"
	mw "github.com/labstack/echo/middleware"
)

func main() {
	e := echo.New()
	e.Use(mw.Log())
	e.Get("/", func(c echo.Context) error {
		return c.String(200, "Hello, World!")
	})
	e.Get("/v2", func(c echo.Context) error {
		return c.String(200, "Echo v2")
	})

	// FastHTTP
	e.Run(fasthttp.New(":4444", e))

	// Standard
	// e.Run(standard.New(":4444"))
}
