Note:
Zinx has been widely used in many enterprises for development purposes, including message forwarding for backend modules, long-linked game servers, and message handling plugins for web frameworks.
Zinx is positioned as a framework with concise code that allows developers to quickly understand the internal details of the framework and easily customize it based on their own enterprise scenarios.

I. One word that has been said before
Why did we create Zinx? Although there are many Golang application frameworks for servers, there are few lightweight enterprise frameworks applied in the gaming or other long-linked fields.
The purpose of designing Zinx is to provide a complete outline of how to write a TCP server based on Golang, so that more Golang enthusiasts can learn and understand this field in a straightforward manner.
The development of the Zinx framework project is synchronized with the creation of learning tutorials, and all the incremental and iterative thinking involved in the development process is incorporated into the tutorials. This approach avoids overwhelming beginners with a complete framework that they may find difficult to grasp all at once.
The tutorials will be iterated version by version, with each version adding small increments of functionality, allowing a beginner to gradually and comprehensively learn about the field of server frameworks.
Of course, we hope that more people will join Zinx and provide us with valuable feedback, enabling Zinx to become a truly enterprise-level server framework. Thank you for your attention!
