## What it is
grpcc is a command-line client for testing gRPC servers, written in Node.js but able to talk to gRPC services in any language. It starts a REPL with a connected gRPC client, pretty-printing helpers, and support for streams, metadata, SSL, and eval/exec modes.

## Use cases
- test grpc server from the command line
- call grpc methods using a proto file
- interactively explore a grpc api in a repl
- fire one-off grpc requests like curl
- test grpc streaming and bidirectional rpcs
- debug grpc services with metadata and ssl

## When to choose
- you need a quick curl-like tool for gRPC endpoints
- you want an interactive REPL with a live gRPC client
- you need to exercise streaming or metadata-heavy gRPC services

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI gRPC client like Postman or BloomRPC
- you want load testing or benchmarking of gRPC services
- the project has not seen a release since 2019 and may lag newer gRPC features
