Ask HN: Best front end framework for a back end engineer?

I'm working in a side project and now I'm getting to the point where I need some sort of interface that doesn't includes 'curl' and 'jq'.

I do have some experience with Angular 2+ but I think it is too much for what I need right now. Besides that I'll probably end up trowing away this first version anyways.

Right now all I need is some way to fetch data from an API and display these items to the user interact with.

Given that what do you think is the easiest way to create a web interface for a simple API? The API is written in Golang.
