We are excited to announce the release of version 1.0 of [**gRPC-JS**
|
|
(@grpc/grpc-js)][grpc-js], a pure-TypeScript reimplementation of the original
|
|
[Node gRPC library, grpc][grpc].
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
gRPC-JS supports the following features, which should cover most use cases:
|
|
|
|
- Clients
|
|
- Automatic reconnection
|
|
- Servers
|
|
- Streaming
|
|
- Metadata
|
|
- Partial compression support: clients can decompress response messages
|
|
- Pick first and round robin load balancing policies
|
|
- Client Interceptors
|
|
- Connection Keepalives
|
|
- HTTP Connect support (proxies)
|
|
|
|
## Should I use @grpc/grpc-js or grpc?
|
|
|
|
The original Node gRPC library ([grpc][]) will no longer receive feature
|
|
updates and we plan to deprecate it in a year,
|
|
so we recommend that you use gRPC-JS, [@grpc/grpc-js][grpc-js].
|
|
|
|
However, some advanced features haven't been ported to gRPC-JS yet, such as full
|
|
compression support or support for other load balancing policies. If you need
|
|
one of these features, you should use the [grpc][] library, but open a [feature
|
|
request][] over gRPC-JS to let us know which features you are missing the most.
