gRPC-Gateway is a plugin of protoc. It reads a gRPC service definition and generates a reverse-proxy server which translates a RESTful JSON API into gRPC. This server is generated according to custom options in your gRPC definition. gRPC-Gateway helps you to provide your APIs in both gRPC and RESTful style at the same time. gRPC is great -- it generates API clients and server stubs in many programming languages, it is fast, easy to use, and bandwidth-efficient and its design is combat-proven by Google. However, you might still want to provide a traditional RESTful JSON API as well. Reasons can range from maintaining backward compatibility, supporting languages or clients that are not well supported by gRPC, to simply maintaining the aesthetics and tooling involved with a RESTful JSON architecture. This project aims to provide that HTTP+JSON interface to your gRPC service.
