• gorilla/mux: request router and dispatcher.
• gorilla/rpc: a RPC over HTTP implementation with codec for JSON-RPC.
• gorilla/schema: converter from form values to a struct.
• gorilla/securecookie: encoder/decoder for authenticated and optionally encrypted cookies.
• gorilla/sessions: cookie and filesystem sessions and infrastructure for custom session backends.

And for Google App Engine there is also this one:

• gorilla/appengine/sessions: datastore and memcache session backends.
