About Rivaas

Welcome to the About section! Here you can learn about the ideas and principles that guide Rivaas development.

What is Rivaas?

Rivaas is a web framework for Go. We built it to make creating web APIs easier and more enjoyable. The name comes from ریواس (Rivās), a wild rhubarb plant that grows in the mountains of Iran.

Just like this tough mountain plant, Rivaas is:

• Strong — Built to handle production workloads
• Light — Fast and uses little memory
• Flexible — Works in many different environments
• Independent — Each piece works on its own

Our Goals

We want Rivaas to be:

1. Easy to use — You should understand it quickly
2. Hard to misuse — Good defaults keep you safe
3. Fun to work with — Clear APIs and helpful errors
4. Ready for production — Works well from day one

Design Philosophy

Every decision we make follows a few key ideas:

• Developer experience comes first — Your time is valuable
• Simple things stay simple — Basic tasks need simple code
• Advanced features are available — But they don’t get in your way
• Each package stands alone — Use only what you need
