Is decoding performance typically a problem for web UIs? The lackluster performance of binary protobuf decoding in browsers (and unmarshaling BigInts from JSON) seems much less problematic than (1) using a 200 for unary error responses, (2) choosing a wire format that's _always_ opaque to the network inspector tab, and (3) having really poor generated code. > It didn't seem like the gRPC folks understood the needs of web developers very well. Agreed. Being fair to the team that designed the protocol, though, it seems like browsers weren't in scope at the time. |
