The main purpose for this tool is to invoke RPC methods on a gRPC server from the
command-line. gRPC servers use a binary encoding on the wire
([protocol buffers](https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/), or "protobufs"
for short). So they are basically impossible to interact with using regular `curl`
(and older versions of `curl` that do not support HTTP/2 are of course non-starters).
This program accepts messages using JSON encoding, which is much more friendly for both
humans and scripts.

With this tool you can also browse the schema for gRPC services, either by querying
a server that supports [service reflection](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/src/proto/grpc/reflection/v1alpha/reflection.proto)
or by loading in "protoset" files (files that contain encoded file
[descriptor protos](https://github.com/google/protobuf/blob/master/src/google/protobuf/descriptor.proto)).
