+![Test Status](https://github.com/gocondor/gocondor/actions/workflows/test-main.yml/badge.svg)

+
+## What is GoCondor?
+GoCondor is a [Go](https://go.dev) web framework made for building web APIs, suitable for small, medium size and microservices projects. With it's simple structure, and developer friendly experience it helps with increasing the productivity.
+
+## Main Features 
+- Routing
+- Middlewares
+- Data Validation
+- Databases ORM ([GORM](https://gorm.io/) integrated)
+- Emails
+- JWT tokens
+- Cache (Redis)
+- HTTPS (TLS)
+
+## Installation
+To create a new `GoCondor` project you need to install the `GoCondor's cli` first
+
+##### Install Gaffer  [GoCondor's cli] tool
+To install the `gaffer` globally open up your terminal and run the following command:
+```bash
+go install github.com/gocondor/gaffer@latest
+```
+
+![installing](https://gocondor.github.io/img/installing.gif)
+
+
+##### Create new project using a Cup of Goffee
+Here is how you can create new `goCondor` projects using `gaffer`
+```bash
+gaffer new [project-name] [project-remote-repository]
+```
+Example
+```bash
+gaffer new myapp github.com/gocondor/myapp
+```
+where:
+`project-name` is the name of your project
+`remote-repository` is the remote repository that will host the project, usually `github.com` is used.
+
+## Getting started
+First make sure you have [Gaffer](https://gocondor.github.io/docs/gaffer) installed, then use it to create a new project, [here is how](https://gocondor.github.io/docs/gaffer#create-new-project-using-gaffer)
+
+Let's create a route that returns `hello world`
+
+Open up the file `routes.go` in the root directory of your project and add the following code:
+```go "defining a route"
+	router.Get("/greeting", func(c *core.Context) *core.Response {
+		JsonString := `{"message": "hello world"}`
+
+		return c.Response.Json(JsonString)
+	})
+```
+Next, in your terminal navigate to the project dir and run the following command to start the `live reloading`:
+```go
+gocondor run:dev
+```
+Finally, open up your browser and navigate to `http://localhost/greeting`
+
+To learn more check the [routing docs section](https://gocondor.github.io/docs/routing)
+
+
+## Architecture
+The architecture is similar to `MVC`, where there is a routes file `./routes.go` in which you can map all your app routes to their controllers which resides in the directory `./controllers`. Controllers are simply methods that handles requests (GET, POST, ... etch) to the given routes.
+
+## The request journey:
+The first component that receive's the request in `Cup` is the `Router`,
+then `Goffee` locates the matching [handler](https://gocondor.github.io/docs/handlers) of the request and it check's if there are any [middlewares](https://gocondor.github.io/docs/middlewares) to be executed either before or after the [handler](https://gocondor.github.io/docs/handlers), if so, it executes them in the right order, then at the final stage it returns the response to the user.
+`Request -> Router -> Optional Middlewares -> Handler -> Optional Middlewares ->  Response`
+
+## Folder structure 
+```bash
