## What it is
BloomRPC was a desktop GUI client for exploring and testing gRPC services, inspired by Postman and GraphQL Playground. The project was archived in January 2023 and its use is no longer recommended.

## Use cases
- test grpc services with a gui
- explore grpc endpoints like postman
- send grpc requests without writing a client
- load proto files and invoke rpc methods
- debug grpc server responses

## When to choose
- you need a legacy tool for an old environment where it is already installed

## When to avoid
- starting any new project
- you need maintained grpc tooling
- you hit known bugs, since development stalled and issues piled up
- you want long-term support

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: gui, rpc, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, apis
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: grpc, api-client, postman-alternative, archived, electron-app, command-line, desktop
