quic-go is a production-ready, pure Go implementation of the QUIC transport protocol (RFC 9000/9001/9002) with support for HTTP/3, datagrams, connection migration, multipath, and qlog event logging. It enables Go applications to run QUIC servers and clients, serve HTTP/3 alongside HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2, and build related protocols like WebTransport and MASQUE proxying.

Use cases

• serve HTTP/3 from a Go web server
• build a QUIC client or server in Go
• implement low-latency streaming over QUIC streams and datagrams
• proxy UDP or IP traffic over HTTP (CONNECT-UDP / CONNECT-IP)
• add connection migration and multipath to a networked application
• log QUIC connection events with qlog for debugging
• build real-time web communication with WebTransport

When to choose

• you need QUIC or HTTP/3 support in a Go application
• you want a mature, widely used, RFC-compliant QUIC stack
• you need advanced QUIC features like 0-RTT, datagrams, connection migration, or multipath
• you are building proxies or tunnels using MASQUE-style HTTP proxying

When to avoid

• your project is not in Go
• you only need plain TCP-based HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/2 without QUIC
• you need a QUIC implementation for a non-Go runtime with different language requirements
• you need WebTransport itself - use the companion webtransport-go project built on top of quic-go
