// This example is equivalent to the

//
// It seems that additional code you
// have to write doesn't worth it
// but remember that, this example
// does not make use of iris mvc features like
// the Model, Persistence or the View engine neither the Session,
// it's very simple for learning purposes,
// probably you'll never use such
// as simple controller anywhere in your app.
//
// The cost we have on this example for using MVC
// on the "/hello" path which serves JSON
// is ~2MB per 20MB throughput on my personal laptop,
// it's tolerated for the majority of the applications
// but you can choose
// what suits you best with Iris, low-level handlers: performance
// or high-level controllers: easier to maintain and smaller codebase on large applications.

// Of course you can put all these to main func, it's just a separate function
// for the main_test.go.
