Reasons to use gRPC/Protobuf?

• grpc-gateway

  30 17,544 9.9 Go

  gRPC to JSON proxy generator following the gRPC HTTP spec

  

Protobuf is used is massively scaled services like firebase. But you'll still see JSON in streamed realtime services like AWS Kinesis. Hopefully google had a return on investment for creating and using this protocol, but it's not hard to prove that it's far from essential. Out of apparent convenience I use grpc-gateway so I can expose both Protobuf and JSON, but honestly I wouldn't do it again
