libquic
A C++ library implementing the QUIC protocol, extracted from Chromium with minimal dependencies.
What is libquic?
libquic is a C++ library that implements the QUIC protocol, a multiplexed stream transport layer built on UDP. It addresses web latency issues by providing faster connection establishment, improved congestion control, and multiplexing without head-of-line blocking compared to traditional TCP+TLS approaches. The library is extracted from Chromium's QUIC implementation with minimal dependencies.
C/C++ developers building network applications, HTTP servers, or language bindings who need a modern transport protocol implementation. It's particularly useful for those integrating QUIC into projects like Apache or nginx.
Developers choose libquic because it provides a production-ready QUIC implementation with minimal dependencies, extracted directly from Chromium. It serves as an essential reference point for language bindings and integration, avoiding the complexity of building QUIC from scratch.
