web-transport
WebTransport is a new browser API powered by QUIC intended as a replacement for WebSockets. Most importantly, QUIC supports multiple independent data streams.
This crate provides a generic WebTransport implementation depending on the platform:
- Native: web-transport-quinn
- WASM: web-transport-wasm
Why no trait?
I did make a generic trait. However, async traits are quite problematic and difficult to use.
It shortly became impossible when trying to add WASM support because of !Send.
So this crate switches the implementation based on the underlying platform. As an added benefit, you no longer need to litter your code with generics.
