I built this because I wanted to make outbound and accept inbound HTTP/3 and raw QUIC connections from ordinary Node.js code, without building Node from source or putting everything behind a reverse proxy. Repo: https://github.com/currentspace/http3 npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@currentspace/http3It’s a native package around Rust/quiche.

It’s a native package around Rust/quiche. It supports both client and server APIs, I'm using it in a couple of projects: creating raw QUIC streams, datagrams, custom ALPN, session behavior, and HTTP/3 client work from Node.

I've tried to be very safe in the native code, written in rust, with proofs around the parts I was most concerned about getting wrong. I have it hosting a couple of sites as HTTP3 endpoints and found it working well.
