## What it is
gRPC-rs (published as grpcio) is a Rust wrapper around the gRPC Core C library, providing asynchronous client and server RPC built on futures. It supports unary and streaming calls, SSL/TLS, health checks, and code generation from proto files.

## Use cases
- build a gRPC server in Rust
- call gRPC services from a Rust client
- streaming RPCs with async Rust
- generate Rust code from proto files
- secure gRPC with TLS in Rust
- interoperate with gRPC services in other languages

## When to choose
- you need gRPC in Rust with mature C-core performance
- you want async/await or futures-based RPC clients and servers
- you need TLS, health checks, or interoperability with other gRPC stacks

## When to avoid
- you want a pure-Rust gRPC stack without C dependencies (consider tonic)
- you need server-side load reporting or gRPC reflection, which are unimplemented
- your build environment cannot satisfy CMake/Clang toolchain prerequisites

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: rpc, http-client, http-server, serialization
- domain: backend, apis, web-development, microservices
- platform: windows, rust, cross-platform
- tags: grpc, grpcio, futures, async, tls, protobuf, prost, http2, linux, macos
