gRPC is a framework designed for writing cross-language RPC (remote procedure calls) clients and servers. It works on binary formats and focuses on an API First approach for designing any services. It provides fixed IDL (interactive data language fixed formats) to later generate client-side stubs and server-side skeletons adhering to that fixed IDL format. The compiler can generate code for most of the languages and they exchange data using HTTP/2, which is beneficial in the long run. Apache Thrift is a great alternative for writing cross-language RPC clients and servers. It has a C-style IDL Definition language. The compiler generates code for a variety of languages, which includes C++, Java, and even TypeScript. ...
