Add QUIC and HTTP/3 support to Rust networking code

Made by Cloudflare

quiche is a Rust software library that adds QUIC and HTTP/3 — the newer protocols behind faster, more reliable web connections — to another program's networking code.

It gives a low-level API for building and reading QUIC packets and tracking connection state; the surrounding application still has to supply its own sockets and timers, though the project ships example command-line client and server tools for testing setups. It is aimed at developers building network software in Rust, not something an end user opens directly. Cloudflare says quiche powers its edge network's HTTP/3 support, and that Android's DNS resolver and the curl tool also use it.

You could use it to…

Add fast, dropped-packet-tolerant HTTP/3 to Rust code
Let a library handle QUIC's packets and connection state
Build on the same tech that runs Cloudflare's HTTP/3 edge

Terminal, a Rust library

You'll need Rust and a terminal · Setup needed

Worth knowing The project says its example command-line client and server "are not suitable for production environments," and using the library itself means writing your own networking and event-loop code around it — it is a building block, not a finished application.
