Exposing QUIC API in Java 26

[Srayan Jana]

Hello!

I recently heard that Java is getting HTTP/3 support in Java 26. That's really cool!

I'm interested in QUIC, the protocol behind HTTP/3, for multimedia and gaming related applications.

See: https://moq.dev/
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebTransport
https://github.com/MOZGIII/xwt


Will QUIC/Webtransport be added to Java as well? It would be nice to be able to have a quinn (https://github.com/quinn-rs/quinn) style API in Java with unreliable datagrams and other additional features that QUIC enables.

You could even do an Iroh (https://github.com/n0-computer/iroh) implementation in Java!

How would this work? Would QUIC be added as the "third" network transport layer besides TCP and UDP? Or would it require its own separate API in order to use it?
