Description

Implements HPACK header compression used by HTTP/2. It lets Python networking libraries encode and decode repeated HTTP headers efficiently so web clients, servers, or protocol tools can speak HTTP/2 correctly.

Most users install it because another Python package needs it. Developers work with it when building or debugging HTTP/2 protocol support, where malformed headers can break network communication.
