What I want, in the end, is to send a gRPC request based on an ASCII or JSON representation of a protobuf, receive a response and display it.
Essentially, if you take grpc_cli tool present in the repo of C implementation of gRPC, I would like to implement its "call" functionality. Even though trying to construct a binary protobuf /might/ be a dead end depending on how I would have to invoke the RPC itself, building a proto.Message out of a remote protobuf descriptor happens to be an interesting problem in itself. It'd be less than fun if the solution is to write yet another proto serializer/deserializer. And I didn't even check if, when using grpc-go, I can invoke a remote gRPC method using just its name... Of course, if you have another shortcut that I missed in grpc-go's APIs or in Go protobuf's APIs, that'd be great, too ☺️ On Thu, Feb 23, 2017, 02:57 Matt Harden <matt.har...@gmail.com> wrote: > Is the intermediate Go struct necessary, or do you just want to convert a > text proto to a binary representation? > > On Wed, Feb 22, 2017 at 6:10 PM <ivuc...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm fiddling with gRPC and its service reflection.
