REST is an architectural principle. REST is about various things, such as representing a set of resources with a common interface, for example the HTTP verb set. REST doesn't care, I think, about the serialisation format or the transport.
How is gRPC even comparable to REST? Are you trying to compare gRPC with HTTP + JSON media formatters? Or is the intention something else?
We believe that everyone deserves a good and free education. The purpose of Tech School is to give everyone a chance to learn IT by giving free, high-quality tutorials and coding courses.
I am not sure I understand the comparison.

Apologies if I have misunderstood the article.
Hi Frank, you're right, I actually meant to compare gRPC vs normal HTTP JSON API.
