Record what you learned during the process of converting net to golang

As a developer, on the road of continuous learning and exploring new technologies, we will inevitably face changes and transfers in the technology stack. In the field of software development in recent years, the rise and application of Golang have become more and more widespread. As a developer who originally used C# and .Net technology stack, now I have also started trying to migrate the .Net project to Golang language. This article will record what I learned during this transition.

Advantages of Golang

Golang is a programming language developed by Google. Its underlying code execution efficiency is very high, which means that the Golang language can build faster applications. At the same time, Golang has a concise syntax, which allows programmers to develop and maintain programs faster. Every programmer knows that a clean code base is easier to understand and maintain than a huge code base. In addition, Golang also provides powerful features to support concurrent programming, making it easier for developers to deal with highly concurrent applications.

Disadvantages of .Net

Although .Net is very powerful in supporting application and web development, it has some shortcomings in some aspects. For example, when using .Net, I found that it was not very efficient when dealing with high-concurrency applications. In addition, I also found that when deploying using .Net, I needed to cover some of the more common errors, and it also took more effort to maintain the code as the project continued to evolve.

.Net to Golang

Next, I will share some of the problems I encountered when converting .Net projects to Golang language and how to solve them by converting them to Golang language they.

Form Validation

In the original code, I used the model binder to validate the form data. But in Golang, there is no built-in model binder. How to solve this problem?

In the Golang language, we can use the flag library to implement this form validation function. Flags library is a Go library for parsing and managing command line arguments and referencing them using structures. This makes it easy to use the flags library for form validation. We just create a structure and add flags to the structure.

Database Access

In .Net, I used Entity Framework to access the database. But there is no similar ORM framework in Golang. So how do I access the database?

A common database access method provided by Golang is to use database/sql (sql package under database package). Operating through SQL statements is a unique method of Golang, which is very good in terms of performance. Because Golang is a compiled language, there is no need for runtime type information and additional architecture to handle ORM operations. Another alternative is to use third-party ORM frameworks such as GORM and XORM etc.

Web Framework

In .Net, I used the MVC framework to build web applications. So which framework should be used in Golang?

There are many web frameworks to choose from in Golang. Some of the most popular frameworks are Gin (an HTTP framework for building web applications) and Beego (a web application framework for Golang), which can be used to build large-scale web applications.

Conclusion

Through the comparative analysis of Golang and .Net technologies and the actual project conversion in Golang language, I can clearly see the advantages and disadvantages of the two technologies, and also learned How to use Golang to solve some problems encountered in .Net development. When choosing a technology stack, we need to make trade-offs based on different situations and needs to determine the technology stack that best suits us. Whenever possible, learning new technologies and trying new things is an inevitable choice for development and advancement, which is very important for our careers as developers.
