From the README
quiche is an implementation of the QUIC transport protocol and HTTP/3 as specified by the IETF. It provides a low level API for processing QUIC packets and handling connection state. The application is responsible for providing I/O (e.g. sockets handling) as well as an event loop with support for timers.
For more information on how quiche came about and some insights into its design you can read a post on Cloudflare's blog that goes into some more detail.
quiche powers Cloudflare edge network's HTTP/3 support. The cloudflare-quic.com website can be used for testing and experimentation.
