Twirp is a simple RPC framework with protobuf service definitions. Define your service in a .proto file and Twirp generates servers and clients implementing the Twirp wire protocol. Services are exposed over HTTP using POST requests with paths in the form /twirp/[Package].[Service]/[Method]. Supports both Protobuf binary encoding (Content-Type: application/protobuf) and JSON encoding (Content-Type: application/json). Includes a Go runtime and protoc-gen-twirp code generator plugin.
