libngtcp2
brew install libngtcp2
v1.23.0
MIT
C library implementing the IETF QUIC protocol for encrypted, multiplexed transport.
Why you might care
libngtcp2 provides a low-level QUIC implementation suitable for embedding in HTTP/3 clients and servers, or any application needing modern encrypted transport with connection migration and 0-RTT support. It's the foundation for HTTP/3 stacks and an alternative to embedding OpenSSL's QUIC support directly.
