* Package name : grpcurl Version : v1.9.1 Upstream Contact: Joshua Humphries, et al. * URL : https://github.com/fullstorydev/grpcurl * License : Expat Programming Lang: golang Description : command-line tool to interact with gRPC servers. grpcurl is a command-line tool that lets you interact with gRPC servers. It's basically curl for gRPC servers. . The main purpose for this tool is to invoke RPC methods on a gRPC server from the command-line. gRPC servers use a binary encoding on the wire (protocol buffers, or "protobufs" for short). So they are basically impossible to interact with using regular curl (and older versions of curl that do not support HTTP/2 are of course non-starters). This program accepts messages using JSON encoding, which is much more friendly for both humans and scripts. . With this tool you can also browse the schema for gRPC services, either by querying a server that supports server reflection, by reading proto source files, or by loading in compiled "protoset" files (files that contain encoded file descriptor protos). In fact, the way the tool transforms JSON request data into a binary encoded protobuf is using that very same schema. So, if the server you interact with does not support reflection, you will either need the proto source files that define the service or need protoset files that grpcurl can use. The package will be co-maintained under golang team. -- ChangZhuo Chen (陳昌倬) czchen@{czchen,debian}.org Key fingerprint = BA04 346D C2E1 FE63 C790 8793 CC65 B0CD EC27 5D5B
