Next generation of “Hypertext Transfer Protocol” which is based on “SPDY” which had been based on “QUIC”
At a high level, HTTP/2:
- is binary, instead of textual
- is fully multiplexed, instead of ordered and blocking
- can therefore use one connection for parallelism
- uses header compression to reduce overhead
- allows servers to “push” responses proactively into client caches
