GOWDK Documentation - Compile-first web apps in Go

Start here

If you are new, read these in order. Each one builds on the last.

Getting Started installs the CLI and builds your first page end to end.
The Language covers the mental model: pages, components, layouts, build-time versus request-time, and guards.
Architecture explains how the compiler, generated adapters, and runtime fit together.

Language overview is the full .gwdk reference: annotations, blocks, render modes, markup, components, and slots.
Forms & progressive enhancement shows how forms and links work without JavaScript, then enhance into fragment requests.
SSR & request-time explains opting into request-time rendering with load and go ssr.

Routing covers routes, dynamic params, rest params, and the trailing-slash policy.
Config documents source discovery, modules, build output, CSS settings, render defaults, and addons.
CLI lists every command for scaffolding, checking, building, watching, and serving a project.
Deployment walks through publishing static files, generating a Go app, and shipping a single binary.

Go owns the build. No Node toolchain is required. The CLI is one Go binary and your project is normal Go code.
Compile first, serve later. Pages render at build time by default and you opt into SPA or SSR behavior only where it is needed.
Everything is explicit. Routes, guards, render lanes, and component usage are declared in the source file, never inferred from folder layout.
Portable output. Ship static files to a CDN, run the generated app, or package the whole site into a single executable.
