## What it is
proto-quic was a standalone checkout and build wrapper for Google's QUIC protocol implementation extracted from Chromium. It is now deprecated in favor of the QUICHE repository.

## Use cases
- build and test QUIC protocol clients and servers
- experiment with HTTP/3 transport
- extract Chromium's QUIC code for standalone use
- benchmark QUIC performance

## When to choose
- you need a historical snapshot of Google's QUIC code for research

## When to avoid
- you want an actively maintained QUIC implementation - use QUICHE instead
- you need production HTTP/3 support
- you want a simple QUIC library - this required building large Chromium dependencies

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: networking, http-client, http-server
- domain: networking, developer-tools, web-development
- platform: windows, cpp
- tags: quic, http3, deprecated, protocol-implementation, chromium, linux, macos
