EchoNext documentation
Build typed, validated, and self-documenting APIs on Echo.
EchoNext documentation
EchoNext wraps Echo with typed handlers, automatic request validation, consistent responses, and OpenAPI generation. It keeps the underlying Echo application available, so typed routes and standard handlers can coexist.
Stable documentation
These guides target EchoNext v1.5.0, Go 1.26, and Echo v5. Handlers take *echo.Context as of v1.5.0 — see the changelog for the breaking changes from the v1.4 line.
