- <summary>A high performance, open source, general RPC framework that puts mobile and HTTP/2 first.</summary>
- <description>Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) provide a useful abstraction for building distributed applications and services. The libraries in this repository provide a concrete implementation of the gRPC protocol, layered over HTTP/2. These libraries enable communication between clients and servers using any combination of the supported languages.</description>
