Introduction
This section provides an overview of Matcha.
Matcha is an schema-first Golang REST framework built on top of the Chi router, where "schema-first" here implies:
- Your HTTP handlers must be two types via generics. One for the request and one for the response.
- Your HTTP routes must have an OpenAPI specification before you can register them as a resource.
