Proxygen
A collection of high-performance C++ HTTP libraries for building servers, proxies, and clients, supporting HTTP/1.1 to HTTP/3.
What is Proxygen?
Proxygen is a collection of C++ HTTP libraries developed by Facebook, providing core abstractions for building HTTP servers, proxies, and clients. It solves the need for a high-performance, modern HTTP library in C++ that supports multiple protocols from HTTP/1.1 to HTTP/3. The project includes an easy-to-use HTTPServer framework for simplifying server development.
C++ developers building high-performance networked applications, such as custom HTTP servers, proxies, or clients that require support for modern HTTP protocols.
Developers choose Proxygen for its proven scalability at Facebook, comprehensive protocol support including HTTP/3, and the balance between low-level control and higher-level abstractions. It offers a robust, production-tested alternative to building HTTP infrastructure from scratch.
