  1. grpc-gateway

    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

  3. twirp

    A simple RPC framework with protobuf service definitions

  4. googleapis

    Public interface definitions of Google APIs.

    We structure the repo according to proto packages. It's quite similar to how the googleapis repository is structured.
