Answer from AI
HTTP/3 is the new version of the HTTP protocol, based on the QUIC transport protocol, which operates over UDP instead of TCP. Main advantages of HTTP/3:
- Fast connection setup thanks to 0-RTT and 1-RTT in QUIC.
- Improved performance in packet loss situations, as QUIC implements its own flow control and recovery mechanisms.
- Multiplexing without head-of-line blocking, reducing delays.
Currently, the standard library in Go does not directly support HTTP/3, but there are third-party implementations and experimental packages, such as quic-go, that enable working with HTTP/3.
Example of using quic-go:
import (
"github.com/lucas-clemente/quic-go/http3"
"net/http"
)
func main() {
client := http3.Client{}
resp, err := client.Get("https://example.com")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
defer resp.Body.Close()
// handle response
}
