http3x 0.1.1

A modern async server framework for HTTP/3 and WebTransport over QUIC.

HTTP3X

A WebSocket replacement built on HTTP/3 and QUIC.

Async Python server framework for HTTP/3 + WebTransport (QUIC).

What WebSocket would look like if it was designed today.

🚀 Quick Example

from http3x import App
from http3x.wt import Session

app = App()

class Echo(Session):
    async def on_stream(self, stream):
        async for data in stream:
            await stream.send(data)

app.wt.add("/echo", Echo)
app.run(host='::', port=4433, certfile="cert.pem", keyfile="key.pem")

Installation

pip install http3x

🚀 Live Example

Streaming AI-style responses over HTTP/3 (WebTransport):

You: hello

AI:
h
he
hel
hell
hello 👋

This is NOT WebSocket.
This is native HTTP/3 streaming over QUIC.

See examples/wt_chat_stream.py and examples/wt_chat_stream.html for the complete example.
