Google has announced version 1.0 of gRPC Kotlin for Android and Cloud. gRPC is an open-source universal RPC framework.
“Kotlin is now the fourth “most loved” programming language with millions of developers using it for Android, server-side / cloud backends, and various other target runtimes. At Google, we’ve been building more of our apps and backends with Kotlin to take advantage of its expressiveness, safety, and excellent support for writing asynchronous code with coroutines,” Google’s software engineer Louis Wasserman and developer advocate James Ward wrote in a blog post.
The project builds on protocol buffers, adds the network protocol, generates clients and server status with the Flow API, and works with Android clients and GraalVM native image clients.
