Hypercorn is an ASGI and WSGI web server based on the sans-io hyper, h11, h2, and wsproto libraries and inspired by Gunicorn. Hypercorn supports HTTP/1, HTTP/2, WebSockets (over HTTP/1 and HTTP/2), ASGI, and WSGI specifications. Hypercorn can utilise asyncio, uvloop, or trio worker types.
Hypercorn can optionally serve the current draft of the HTTP/3 specification using the aioquic library. To enable this install the h3 optional extra, pip install hypercorn[h3] and then choose a quic binding e.g. hypercorn --quic-bind localhost:4433 ....
Hypercorn was initially part of Quart before being separated out into a standalone server. Hypercorn forked from version 0.5.0 of Quart.
