nghttp2 is an implementation of HTTP/2 and its header compression algorithm HPACK in C. The framing layer of HTTP/2 is implemented as a form of reusable C library. On top of that, we have implemented HTTP/2 client, server and proxy. We have also developed a load test and benchmarking tool for HTTP/2. We have participated in httpbis working group since HTTP/2 draft-04, which is the first implementation draft. Since then we have updated nghttp2 library constantly to the latest specification and nghttp2 is now one of the most mature HTTP/2 implementations. HTTP/2 utilizes header compression method called HPACK. We offer HPACK encoder and decoder are available as public API. nghttp2 library itself is a bit low-level. The experimental high-level C++ API is also available. We have Python binding of this library, but we have not covered everything yet.
