This library contains the HTTP/2 framing code used in the `hyper`_ project. It
provides a pure-Python codebase that is capable of decoding a binary stream
into HTTP/2 frames.

This library is used directly by `hyper`_ and a number of other projects to
provide HTTP/2 frame decoding logic.

============

hyperframe welcomes contributions from anyone! Unlike many other projects we
are happy to accept cosmetic...

## AI interpretation — verify before relying

hyperframe decodes binary HTTP/2 frame streams into structured Python objects, providing pure-Python framing logic for HTTP/2 implementations.

Verdict: hyperframe is a stable, actively maintained HTTP/2 framing library with zero dependencies, permissive licensing, and no known vulnerabilities. It is well-suited for projects needing HTTP/2 frame encoding and decoding.
