quic-go is an implementation of the [QUIC protocol, RFC 9000](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9000) protocol in Go.
In addition to RFC 9000, it currently implements the [IETF QUIC draft-29](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-quic-transport-29). Support for draft-29 will eventually be dropped, as it is phased out of the ecosystem.

## Guides

*We currently support Go 1.16.x and Go 1.17.x.*

Running tests:

    go test ./...

### QUIC without HTTP/3

Take a look at [this echo example](example/echo/echo.go).

## Usage

### As a server

See the [example server](example/main.go). Starting a QUIC server is very similar to the standard lib http in go:

```go
http.Handle("/", http.FileServer(http.Dir(wwwDir)))
http3.ListenAndServeQUIC("localhost:4242", "/path/to/cert/chain.pem", "/path/to/privkey.pem", nil)
```

### As a client

See the [example client](example/client/main.go). Use a `http3.RoundTripper` as a `Transport` in a `http.Client`.

```go
http.Client{
  Transport: &http3.RoundTripper{},
}
```
