Fiber vs Gin: source lines of code compared

This page compares the source lines of code (SLOC) of gofiber/fiber and gin-gonic/gin using cached OctoCounts reports. Code size is not code quality: a larger count only means more source material, not a better or worse project.

As of 2026-08-26, gofiber/fiber contains 152,969 total lines (108,831 code) across 313 files, while gin-gonic/gin contains 25,620 total lines (17,982 code) across 112 files as of 2026-08-26. gofiber/fiber is about 6.1x the size of gin-gonic/gin by code lines. Code size is not code quality: a larger count only means more source material, not a better or worse project.

Top languages in gofiber/fiber: Go (100.0% of code), Makefile (0.0% of code), Markdown (0.0% of code). Top languages in gin-gonic/gin: Go (99.4% of code), Makefile (0.5% of code), YAML (0.1% of code). Go, Makefile appear in both top language lists; Markdown appears only in gofiber/fiber's top languages; YAML, Protocol Buffers, Templ appear only in gin-gonic/gin's top languages.

Methodology: both counts come from cached OctoCounts reports generated with tokei. gofiber/fiber was counted at ref main (commit 3ca9a9d5d118) on 2026-08-26; gin-gonic/gin was counted at ref master (commit dcaa4296d111) on 2026-08-26. See the counting methodology for ignored directories and analysis options.

Evidence and next steps:

Note: code size is not code quality. OctoCounts only reports reproducible line counts and makes no claim that either project is better.

Compare FAQ

Which has more lines of code, gofiber/fiber or gin-gonic/gin?

gofiber/fiber has more code: 108,831 code lines versus 17,982 for gin-gonic/gin, about 6.1x as much, based on cached OctoCounts reports as of 2026-08-26.

Does more source lines of code mean more complexity?

Not necessarily. SLOC measures size, not complexity, quality, or maintainability. A larger codebase can mean more features, more generated or vendored code, more verbose language idioms, or more tests — none of which imply the code is harder to work with. Use SLOC to gauge the scale of what you'd be reading or maintaining, not as a quality signal for gofiber/fiber, gin-gonic/gin, or any repository.

How is this comparison calculated?

Methodology: both counts come from cached OctoCounts reports generated with tokei. gofiber/fiber was counted at ref main (commit 3ca9a9d5d118) on 2026-08-26; gin-gonic/gin was counted at ref master (commit dcaa4296d111) on 2026-08-26.

Can I compare a different branch, tag, or commit?

Yes. This page shows the default branch for each repository. Use the interactive comparison tool to pick any public GitHub repository, branch, tag, or commit SHA for both sides and get a fresh side-by-side report.
