## Roadmap Features
### TypeScript Codebase (2024)
Migrate the codebase to TypeScript and update the related toolchains (incl. remove
dependency on `closure-compiler`). Enhance overall TypeScript support.
### Streaming Support
Enhance Fetch/streams support (e.g. cancellation support) and improve runtime
support, including service workers.
See streaming roadmap [here](streaming-roadmap.md).
### Bidi Streaming
We plan to leverage [WebTransport](https://web.dev/webtransport/) for bi-directional streaming.
Also see the dedicate road-map doc on [bidi streaming](streaming-roadmap.md).
### Non-Binary Message Encoding

comparable to JSON in efficiency but also very compact in both the message size
and code size.
### Streaming Support
Currently the gRPC-Web client library uses XHR to ensure cross-browser support
and to support platforms such as React-Native.
We do plan to add fetch/streams support at some point, which is more efficient
for binary streams and incurs less memory overhead on the client-side.
However, fetch still has certain gaps compared to XHR, most notably the lack of
cancellation support. Progressing events, I/O event throttling are other
concerns.

We now have experimental TypeScript Support! See the main README for more
information.
### Non-Closure compiler support

We will keep improving server-streaming in the following areas:
* Fetch cancellation support - 2023
* Finalizing keep-alive support (via Envoy) - 2023+
* Performance improvements and whatwg Fetch/streams support, including service workers - 2023+
