+node-http2
+==========
+
+An HTTP/2 ([RFC 7540](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540))
+client and server implementation for node.js.
+
+![Travis CI status](https://travis-ci.org/molnarg/node-http2.svg?branch=master)
+
+**NOTE WELL** This package is officially deprecated. As of node 9.0.0, there is an 'http2' package built-in. You should use that one instead.
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+```
+npm install http2
+```
+
+API
+---
+
+The API is very similar to the [standard node.js HTTPS API](http://nodejs.org/api/https.html). The
+goal is the perfect API compatibility, with additional HTTP2 related extensions (like server push).
+
+Detailed API documentation is primarily maintained in the `lib/http.js` file and is [available in
+the wiki](https://github.com/molnarg/node-http2/wiki/Public-API) as well.
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+### Using as a server ###
+
+```javascript
+var options = {
+ key: fs.readFileSync('./example/localhost.key'),
+ cert: fs.readFileSync('./example/localhost.crt')
+};
+
+require('http2').createServer(options, function(request, response) {
+ response.end('Hello world!');
+}).listen(8080);
+```
+
+### Using as a client ###
+
+```javascript
+require('http2').get('https://localhost:8080/', function(response) {
+ response.pipe(process.stdout);
+});
+```
+
+### Simple static file server ###
+
+An simple static file server serving up content from its own directory is available in the `example`
+directory. Running the server:
+
+```bash
+$ node ./example/server.js
+```
+
+### Simple command line client ###
+
+An example client is also available. Downloading the server's own source code from the server:
+
+```bash
+$ node ./example/client.js 'https://localhost:8080/server.js' >/tmp/server.js
+```
+
+### Server push ###
+
+For a server push example, see the source code of the example
+[server](https://github.com/molnarg/node-http2/blob/master/example/server.js) and
+[client](https://github.com/molnarg/node-http2/blob/master/example/client.js).
+
+Status
+------
+
+* ALPN is only supported in node.js >= 5.0
+* Upgrade mechanism to start HTTP/2 over unencrypted channel is not implemented yet
+ (issue [#4](https://github.com/molnarg/node-http2/issues/4))
+* Other minor features found in
+ [this list](https://github.com/molnarg/node-http2/issues?labels=feature) are not implemented yet
+
+Development
+-----------
+
+### Development dependencies ###
+
+There's a few library you will need to have installed to do anything described in the following
+sections. After installing/cloning node-http2, run `npm install` in its directory to install
+development dependencies.
+
+Used libraries:
+
+* [mocha](http://visionmedia.github.io/mocha/) for tests
+* [chai](http://chaijs.com/) for assertions
+* [istanbul](https://github.com/gotwarlost/istanbul) for code coverage analysis
+* [docco](http://jashkenas.github.io/docco/) for developer documentation
+* [bunyan](https://github.com/trentm/node-bunyan) for logging
+
+For pretty printing logs, you will also need a global install of bunyan (`npm install -g bunyan`).
+
+### Developer documentation ###
+
+The developer documentation is generated from the source code using docco and can be viewed online
+[here](http://molnarg.github.io/node-http2/doc/). If you'd like to have an offline copy, just run
+`npm run-script doc`.
+
+### Running the tests ###
+
+It's easy, just run `npm test`. The tests are written in BDD style, so they are a good starting
+point to understand the code.
+
+### Test coverage ###
+
+To generate a code coverage report, run `npm test --coverage` (which runs very slowly, be patient).
+Code coverage summary as of version 3.0.1:
+```
+Statements : 92.09% ( 1759/1910 )
+Branches : 82.56% ( 696/843 )
+Functions : 91.38% ( 212/232 )
+Lines : 92.17% ( 1753/1902 )
+```
+
+There's a hosted version of the detailed (line-by-line) coverage report
+[here](http://molnarg.github.io/node-http2/coverage/lcov-report/lib/).
+
+### Logging ###
+
+Logging is turned off by default. You can turn it on by passing a bunyan logger as `log` option when
+creating a server or agent.
+
+When using the example server or client, it's very easy to turn logging on: set the `HTTP2_LOG`
+environment variable to `fatal`, `error`, `warn`, `info`, `debug` or `trace` (the logging level).
+To log every single incoming and outgoing data chunk, use `HTTP2_LOG_DATA=1` besides
+`HTTP2_LOG=trace`. Log output goes to the standard error output. If the standard error is redirected
+into a file, then the log output is in bunyan's JSON format for easier post-mortem analysis.
+
+Running the example server and client with `info` level logging output:
+
+```bash
+$ HTTP2_LOG=info node ./example/server.js
+```
+
+```bash
+$ HTTP2_LOG=info node ./example/client.js 'https://localhost:8080/server.js' >/dev/null
+```
