| # HTTP/2 |
| |
| This directory contains C++ code implementing |
| [the HTTP/2 protocol](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9113.html). |
| |
| Much of this code was written originally as a collaboration between the |
| [Chromium networking](https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/network-stack/) |
| and |
| [Google Front End](https://cloud.google.com/docs/security/infrastructure/design#google-frontend-service) |
| teams while developing the experimental SPDY protocol. SPDY was later |
| standardized as HTTP/2. |
| |
| ## `http2/adapter/` |
| |
| This subdirectory contains general purpose HTTP/2 protocol handling libraries. |
| The `oghttp2_adapter` library can be used in combination with an event loop, a |
| TLS library, and a socket library to make a complete HTTP/2 client or server. |
| |
| ## `http2/core/` |
| |
| This subdirectory contains core utilities, including constants, data structures, |
| and some common entry points that can be used to parse and serialize HTTP/2 |
| protocol elements. |
| |
| ## `http2/decoder` |
| |
| This subdirectory contains a decoder for the HTTP/2 wire format, written from |
| scratch by James Synge. This decoder is used by Chromium-based browsers, the |
| Google Front End reverse-proxy, and Envoy-based proxies. |
| |
| ## `http2/hpack` |
| |
| This subdirectory contains a decoder and encoder for the |
| [HPACK](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7541) compression algorithm |
| |
| ## `http2/test_tools` |
| |
| This subdirectory contains test utilities that facilitate writing unit tests for |
| code in the other subdirectories. |
