A QUIC implementation in pure Go

quic-go is an implementation of the QUIC protocol, RFC 9000 protocol in Go. In addition to RFC 9000, it currently implements the IETF QUIC draft-29. Support for draft-29 will eventually be dropped, as it is phased out of the ecosystem.

Guides

We currently support Go 1.15.x, Go 1.16.x and Go 1.17 Beta 1, with Go modules support enabled.

Running tests:

go test ./...

QUIC without HTTP/3

Take a look at this echo example.

Usage

As a server

See the example server. Starting a QUIC server is very similar to the standard lib http in go:

http.Handle("/", http.FileServer(http.Dir(wwwDir)))
http3.ListenAndServeQUIC("localhost:4242", "/path/to/cert/chain.pem", "/path/to/privkey.pem", nil)

As a client

See the example client. Use a http3.RoundTripper as a Transport in a http.Client.

http.Client{
  Transport: &http3.RoundTripper{},
}
