Rivaas vs Huma: Go API Frameworks Compared

This post compares two Go frameworks for HTTP APIs: Huma and Rivaas. Both can produce OpenAPI docs from your code. They solve similar problems in different ways. Disclosure: Rivaas is our project. We wrote this comparison to explain real trade-offs, not to claim that one framework always wins. If you already use Chi, Gin, or another router with Huma, your reasons may still be valid after you read this. Who this is for # You are choosing a base layer for a Go HTTP API. You care about accurate API docs, validation, and how much wiring you do yourself. You are fine reading a few code snippets.
