gRPC-Web Client Runtime Library

grpc-web is the JavaScript client runtime library that enables browser-based applications to communicate with gRPC services. It functions by connecting to gRPC services through a specialized gateway proxy, such as Envoy, which has built-in gRPC-Web support. The current stable version is 2.0.2, with recent releases addressing bug fixes and minor improvements, including TypeScript compatibility updates. The project maintains a steady release cadence for bug fixes and incremental features. Key differentiators include its focus on browser environments, robust TypeScript support for generated client stubs, and the reliance on `protoc` and `protoc-gen-grpc-web` for generating client code and message definitions from `.proto` files, providing a full-stack gRPC experience for web clients.
