gRPC

gRPC Core Framework

The gRPC core framework defines the RPC protocol, service definition format using Protocol Buffers, and the fundamental call lifecycle including unary, server-streaming, client-streaming, and bidirectional streaming patterns over HTTP/2. It is the foundational specification implemented by all language-specific gRPC SDKs.
