Embrace HTTP's Ubiquity
Developing APIs should leverage the widespread support and debugging capabilities of web browsers, as they serve as the most commonly used HTTP clients available. The gRPC protocol has encountered adoption challenges due to its reliance on HTTP trailers—headers sent after the body—that lack support from most web browsers and HTTP software. While trailers offer useful metadata transmission capabilities, their sparse implementation has hindered gRPC's integration into external APIs. This limitation necessitates the creation of translation layers or alternative libraries, which can be efficiently managed with minimal code, such as in the case of Connect that maintains a concise footprint while supporting gRPC functionalities.
