About:
libnghttp3 is a lightweight, high-performance implementation of the HTTP/3 protocol (RFC 9114) and QPACK (RFC 9204) written in C. It provides a reliable foundation for building modern, low-latency network applications that leverage the QUIC transport protocol. Its primary value is enabling developers to integrate cutting-edge web standards into clients and servers with minimal overhead.
|
Key Features:
- Pure C implementation for maximum portability and performance
- Minimal memory footprint and no external dependencies
- Supports both client and server roles for HTTP/3
- Implements QPACK dynamic compression for header efficiency
|
Use Cases:
- Integrating HTTP/3 support into custom C/C++ applications and servers
- Building high-performance network proxies and load balancers
- Developing network clients for resource-constrained environments
|
Alternatives:
-
ngtcp2
– ngtcp2 is a broader QUIC library that includes a full transport implementation, whereas libnghttp3 focuses specifically on the HTTP/3 layer on top of a QUIC stack.
-
lsquic
– lsquic is another C-based HTTP/3 implementation, but libnghttp3 is often preferred for its minimalism and tight integration with the nghttp2 ecosystem.
