libquic is a standalone C++ library packaging Chromium's QUIC implementation with minimal dependencies (only embedded BoringSSL), built via CMake. It serves as a reference for implementing the QUIC multiplexed UDP transport protocol and for building language bindings like goquic.

Use cases

• add QUIC protocol support to a C++ application
• build a low-latency UDP-based transport instead of TCP+TLS
• create language bindings for QUIC (e.g., Go, Python)
• integrate QUIC into an HTTP server like nginx or Apache
• experiment with QUIC connection migration and multiplexing
• reduce connection establishment latency for mobile clients

When to choose

• you need a self-contained QUIC library with no external dependency installs
• you want to build language bindings from a minimal C++ QUIC codebase
• you need Chromium's QUIC implementation extracted for integration into C/C++ code

When to avoid

• you need modern QUIC / HTTP/3 support - this tracks the older Google QUIC era of Chromium
• you want an actively maintained library with recent upstream syncs
• you prefer a higher-level QUIC implementation like ngtcp2, quiche, or msquic
• you need production support and documentation beyond Chromium's toy client/server examples
