 * **Context-Aware**: Lion uses the de-facto standard [net/Context](https://golang.org/x/net/context) for storing route params and sharing variables between middlewares and HTTP handlers. It [_could_](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/14660) be integrated in the [standard library](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/13021) for Go 1.7 in 2016.
 * **Modular**: You can define your own modules to easily build a scalable architecture
 * **REST friendly**: You can define modules to groups http resources together.
