llhttp
brew install llhttp
v9.4.2
MIT
Fast HTTP parser library written in TypeScript and compiled to C, a modernized port of http_parser.
Why you might care
Used by Node.js and other HTTP clients/servers needing a robust, standards-compliant parser. Faster and more maintainable than the original http_parser; primarily valuable as a build/runtime dependency rather than a direct CLI tool.
