minimalist header-only library for embedded contexts

About the project

A header-only C client for the ClickHouse Native wire protocol, designed to be embedded in applications such as PostgreSQL extensions. It decodes Native Format blocks over TCP or from arbitrary I/O sources.

Useful for
  • Read `clickhouse local` Native Format output from a pipe without TCP or compression.
  • Embed a ClickHouse block decoder inside a PostgreSQL extension using palloc and longjmp.
  • Implement a custom network client over TCP that reads ClickHouse data blocks with optional LZ4 or ZSTD compression.

2.9 Early signal Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 12, 2026, 05:57 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

0612July 15, 2026October 12, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-12 (UTC), 05:05–05:50: 21 → 24 stars (+3). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +12 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • Before this, the repository barely got any stars — about 0 per day.
  • Hacker News: “ClickHouse C – Talk to ClickHouse using its native binary protocol” — 27 points, 6 h ago.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 12. +300% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
