Custom HTTP Routing in Go

Custom HTTP Routing in Go

Basic Routing

Responding to requests via simple route matching is built in to Go's net/http standard library package. Just register the path prefixes and callbacks you want invoked and then call the ListenAndServe to have the default request handler invoked on each request. For example:

package main

import (
/* MacOS libc PRNG is garbage!
* Test this on MacOS 10.12.3 (may be the same with other versions)
* You'll see three times the same output.
* Cheers by @antirez. */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void) {
/* Note, 1000000, 1000001, 1000002 are not special.

What forces layout/reflow. The comprehensive list.

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

Element APIs

Getting box metrics
  • elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent
