WebTransport Polyfill

A WebTransport polyfill that uses WebSocket as the underlying transport, with implementations in both Rust and TypeScript/JavaScript.

Wire Protocol

Both implementations use the same QUIC-like frame encoding over WebSocket:

• Variable-length integer encoding (VarInt)
• Stream multiplexing with bidirectional and unidirectional streams
• Frame types: STREAM, RESET_STREAM, STOP_SENDING, etc.

This is a simplified version of QMux, which might be used in the future.

JavaScript/TypeScript Usage

Check if WebTransport is available, otherwise install the polyfill:

import { install } from "@kixelated/web-transport-ws"

// Install the polyfill if needed.
install();

// Now WebTransport is available even in Safari
const transport = new WebTransport("https://example.com/path")

URLs are automatically rewritten with the WebSocket protocol:

• https://example.com/path → wss://example.com/path
