GRPC is communication framework written on top of HTTP/2. It is a cross-platform open source high performance Remote Procedure Call (RPC) framework.

It uses HTTP/2 for transport, Protocol Buffers as the interface description language, and provides features such as authentication, bidirectional streaming and flow control, blocking or nonblocking bindings, and cancellation and timeouts. (1)
