How to change the naming style of path parameters?

[cyberxnomad]

Example: /users/:id
I'd like to use a style like /users/{id}

Is there a way to change it?

Echo's router uses :name syntax for path parameters — it doesn't support {name} style natively.

The :id style is what you'd use:

e.GET("/users/:id", handler)

// Inside handler
id := c.Param("id")

If {id} syntax is a hard requirement (e.g., for OpenAPI spec alignment or team convention), there's no built-in way to change Echo's parameter syntax. Your options are:

1. Stay with :id — it's the standard across most Go routers (Gin, Fiber, Echo)
2. Use chi — chi uses {id} style by default: r.Get("/users/{id}", handler) and chi.URLParam(r, "id")
3. Use Gorilla Mux — also supports {id} with optional regex: /users/{id:[0-9]+}

If it's purely cosmetic and you're open to keeping Echo, the :id style is idiomatic Go and what all Echo documentation/examples use.
