ClickHouse C – Talk to ClickHouse using its native binary protocol

ClickHouse C is a header-only C client library that enables communication with ClickHouse using its native binary protocol over TCP. The library is designed to be lightweight and embeddable, with minimal dependencies, allowing developers to decode ClickHouse data blocks with optional support for compression and various I/O backends. It can function as a pure block decoder for reading ClickHouse query output from pipes without requiring TCP or compression.
