A gRPC-Web implementation providing a Go wrapper/proxy to expose gRPC servers to browsers and a TypeScript client library for invoking gRPC services from modern web apps. It lets frontend code call strongly-typed protobuf-based RPC services without hand-crafted JSON APIs.

Use cases

  • call grpc services from the browser
  • expose a grpc server to web frontend clients
  • proxy classic grpc servers over grpc-web
  • generate typed typescript clients from proto files
  • replace hand-written apis with typed rpc

When to choose

  • you have existing Go gRPC servers and want browser clients
  • you want strongly-typed API contracts between frontend and backend
  • you need a standalone proxy for non-Go gRPC servers

When to avoid

  • starting a new project - the official grpc/grpc-web client is recommended
  • you need Node.js-only gRPC without browser support
  • you need actively developed features or new bug fixes
