What is http in Golang ?

 http is a built-in package in Golang that provides a set of functions and types for building HTTP servers and clients.


Some of the functions and types provided by the http package include:

http.HandleFunc(): registers a handler function for a given URL pattern

http.Serve(): serves HTTP requests using a given listener and handler

http.FileServer(): creates a file server that serves static files from a given directory

http.NewRequest(): creates a new HTTP request object with a given method, URL, and body

http.Post(): sends an HTTP POST request with a given URL, content type, and body

http.Client: represents an HTTP client that can send requests and receive responses

http.Response: represents an HTTP response with a status code, headers, and body

The http package is very useful for building web applications and web services in Golang. It provides a simple and consistent API for handling HTTP requests and responses, and supports a wide range of functionality such as serving static files, handling form data, and processing JSON data.
