    • func(echo.HandlerFunc) echo.HandlerFunc
    • func(http.Handler) http.Handler
    • http.Handler
    • http.HandlerFunc
    • func(http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request)
  • Handler
    • func(*echo.Context)
    • http.Handler
    • http.HandlerFunc
    • func(http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request)
• Group routing
• Handy encoding/decoding functions.
