Hypercorn is an ASGI <https://github.com/django/asgiref/blob/main/specs/asgi.rst>_ web
server based on the sans-io hyper, h11 <https://github.com/python-hyper/h11>, h2 <https://github.com/python-hyper/hyper-h2>, and wsproto <https://github.com/python-hyper/wsproto>_ libraries and inspired by
Gunicorn. Hypercorn supports HTTP/1, HTTP/2, WebSockets (over HTTP/1
and HTTP/2), ASGI/2, and ASGI/3 specifications. Hypercorn can utilise
asyncio, uvloop, or trio worker types.

Hypercorn can optionally serve the current draft of the HTTP/3
specification using the aioquic <https://github.com/aiortc/aioquic/>_ library. To enable this install
the h3 optional extra, pip install hypercorn[h3] and then
choose a quic binding e.g. hypercorn --quic-bind localhost:4433 ....

Hypercorn was initially part of Quart <https://gitlab.com/pgjones/quart>_ before being separated out into a
standalone ASGI server. Hypercorn forked from version 0.5.0 of Quart.

Quickstart

Hypercorn can be installed via pip <https://docs.python.org/3/installing/index.html>_,

… code-block:: console

$ pip install hypercorn

and requires Python 3.7.0 or higher.

With hypercorn installed ASGI frameworks (or apps) can be served via
Hypercorn via the command line,

… code-block:: console

$ hypercorn module:app

Alternatively Hypercorn can be used programatically,

… code-block:: python

import asyncio
from hypercorn.config import Config
from hypercorn.asyncio import serve

from module import app

asyncio.run(serve(app, Config()))

docs.
