Does this skill require third-party routers like gorilla/mux?

No, this skill focuses on using the native net/http enhancements introduced in the Go 1.22 standard library, reducing external dependencies.

How does it handle server shutdowns?

It implements standard graceful shutdown patterns that stop accepting new connections and wait for active requests to complete before exiting.

What version of Go is required for these patterns?

While the middleware and shutdown patterns work in older versions, the enhanced routing patterns require Go 1.22 or later specified in your go.mod file.

Can it help with middleware implementation?

Yes, it provides patterns for creating composable middleware using the standard wrapper pattern and http.Handler interface.
