quiche
A Rust implementation of the QUIC transport protocol and HTTP/3, providing low-level APIs for building high-performance networking applications.
What is quiche?
quiche is a Rust library that implements the QUIC transport protocol and HTTP/3, providing low-level APIs for processing QUIC packets and managing connection state. It solves the need for a performant, standards-compliant QUIC implementation that applications can integrate directly, offering fine-grained control over networking behavior. Developed by Cloudflare, it is used in production environments like Cloudflare's edge network and Android's DNS resolver.
Systems programmers and networking engineers building custom networking stacks, high-performance servers, or applications requiring direct integration of QUIC and HTTP/3. It is also suitable for developers extending tools like curl with HTTP/3 support.
Developers choose quiche for its production-ready reliability, low-level control over QUIC connections, and proven use in large-scale deployments like Cloudflare. Its Rust implementation ensures memory safety and performance, while the C FFI enables easy integration into existing C/C++ codebases.
