quinn
A pure-Rust, async-compatible implementation of the IETF QUIC transport protocol.
What is quinn?
Quinn is a pure-Rust implementation of the QUIC transport protocol, designed for modern async networking. It provides a high-performance, secure foundation for applications requiring low-latency, multiplexed connections, such as real-time communication and web services.
Rust developers building networked applications that benefit from QUIC's features, such as real-time communication systems, web services requiring low latency, or peer-to-peer applications. It also targets developers needing a sans-IO protocol state machine for custom event loops.
Developers choose Quinn for its pure-Rust implementation that leverages Rust's safety and performance, seamless integration with Rust's async ecosystem (primarily tokio), and modular architecture offering both high-level APIs and low-level, deterministic state machines. Its pluggable cryptography and support for application-layer datagrams provide flexibility over alternatives.
