README

          

Complete implementation of HPACK (Header Compression for HTTP/2, fully compliant RFC 7541)

encode:

```cpp

#include 

void encode_my_headers(hpack::encoder& enc, std::vector& bytes) {

  // memory effective by default

  enc.encode("name", "value", std::back_inserter(bytes));

  // or by hands

  enc.encode_header_fully_indexed(hpack::static_table_t::status_200, std::back_inserter(bytes));

}

```

decode

```cpp

#include 

void decode_my_headers(hpack::decoder& d, std::span bytes) {

  hpack::decode_headers_block(e, bytes, [&](std::string_view name, std::string_view value) {

    // use name/value somehow

  });

}

```

adding with cmake:

Preferred way with [CPM](https://github.com/cpm-cmake/CPM.cmake)

```cmake

CPMAddPackage(

  NAME HPACK

  GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/kelbon/HPACK

  GIT_TAG        v1.0.0

  OPTIONS "HPACK_ENABLE_TESTING ON"

)

target_link_libraries(MyTargetName hpacklib)

```

simple way with fetch content:

```cmake

include(FetchContent)

FetchContent_Declare(

  HPACK

  GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/kelbon/HPACK

  GIT_TAG        origin/master

)

FetchContent_MakeAvailable(HPACK)

target_link_libraries(MyTargetName hpacklib)

```
