Why not use gRPC?

• PebblesHD 6y ago
  If you’re after raw speed I can see this but it’s near impossible for a human to parse and requires a spec to implement a client which means it picks up what I personally feel are the worst parts of the other available options with only one benefit. Some use cases make the speed alone worth it, but like graph I don’t think gRPC is as generally useful as the alternatives.

  How is the grpc support in browser/web js? https://grpc.io/blog/state-of-grpc-web/ https://grpc.io/blog/state-of-grpc-web/ is from early 2019

  gRPC is coupled to individual services whereas graphql gives you an abstraction layer that allows you to expose your data in a controlled manner while allowing you the flexibility to refactor the underlying services whenever you want.
