## What it is
Wombat is a cross-platform desktop GUI client for gRPC, built with Go and Wails using a Svelte frontend. It parses proto definitions (or uses server reflection) to let users interactively invoke unary and streaming RPCs.

## Use cases
- test grpc endpoints with a gui
- send unary and streaming grpc requests
- explore grpc services via server reflection
- debug grpc metadata headers and trailers
- load proto files and generate request inputs
- test bidirectional grpc streaming

## When to choose
- you want a Postman-like GUI for gRPC instead of writing client code
- you need to test all four gRPC RPC types including bidirectional streaming
- you work across macOS, Linux, and Windows and want one tool
- you want automatic request form generation from proto files or reflection

## When to avoid
- you need a scriptable or CI-friendly gRPC client (use grpcurl or a CLI instead)
- you only need simple HTTP/REST testing
- you require a web-based or team-shared API client
