HTTP 2 for Node js Core
summary
An HTTP/2 implementation for Node core exists as C-backed glue to nghttp2 with a minimal core API (session + stream) and a compatibility layer; header compression yields about 80–90% header reduction in tests; a working server and client prototype lands as an experimental feature in Node 8x around June 2017; current benchmarking shows ~30,000 requests per second vs ~45,000 for the existing HTTP/1 path; TLS is preferred and push, prioritization and flow control are implemented; repo: github.com/nodejs/http2.
