Install: brew install quictls

About:
Quictls is a specialized fork of OpenSSL that integrates native support for QUIC (Quick UDP Internet Connections) protocol APIs. This library enables developers to build high-performance, low-latency network applications that leverage modern transport protocols while maintaining full compatibility with existing TLS/SSL infrastructure. It serves as a critical component for implementing QUIC-based services where standard OpenSSL lacks native QUIC capabilities.

Key Features:

Native QUIC protocol support integrated into OpenSSL API
Full TLS/SSL compatibility and cryptographic functionality
Optimized for low-latency, high-throughput network communications
Actively maintained by the quictls community

Use Cases:

Building high-performance web servers and APIs with HTTP/3 support
Developing real-time communication applications requiring low-latency transport
Creating custom QUIC-enabled network services and clients

Alternatives:

boringssl – Google's fork with QUIC support but different API design and focus on internal Google use
openssl – Standard OpenSSL lacks native QUIC APIs, requiring additional libraries for QUIC functionality
