  title: gRPC-Web Proxy Channelz API
  description: OpenAPI specification for gRPC-Web proxy endpoints. gRPC-Web is a JavaScript client library that enables browser-based applications to communicate with gRPC services through an intermediary proxy. The proxy translates HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 requests into native gRPC calls, exposing health checking, reflection, and channelz services over RESTful HTTP endpoints.
