Better HTTP server routing in Go 1.22
Summary: Go 1.22 is expected to introduce an enhanced pattern-matching capability for the default HTTP serving multiplexer in the net/http package. The existing multiplexer, http.ServeMux, offers basic path matching, leading to the development of third-party libraries for advanced capabilities. The new multiplexer aims to bridge the gap between the standard library and third-party packages by providing advanced matching, making it easier for developers to build web backends without relying on external libraries.
