+### Webhooks ###
+
+`go-github` provides structs for almost all [GitHub webhook events][] as well as functions to validate them and unmarshal JSON payloads from `http.Request` structs.
+
+```go
+func (s *GitHubEventMonitor) ServeHTTP(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+	payload, err := github.ValidatePayload(r, s.webhookSecretKey)
+	if err != nil { ... }
+	event, err := github.ParseWebHook(github.WebHookType(r), payload)
+	if err != nil { ... }
+	switch event := event.(type) {
+	case *github.CommitCommentEvent:
+		processCommitCommentEvent(event)
+	case *github.CreateEvent:
+		processCreateEvent(event)
+	...
+	}
+}
+```
+
+Furthermore, there are libraries like [cbrgm/githubevents][] that build upon the example above and provide functions to subscribe callbacks to specific events.
