Hey! I think it's really depends on your needs and expectations from protocol you choose.
gRPC is not a silver bullet, but it offers you structure via protobuf messages and automatically generated clients for most used languages. Not in all places in your architecture you need to use high-performance protocols. It's a trade-off and only you decide whats better in concrete section.
The problem which ezy solves - gRPC is popular, and yes, maybe we have faster protocols, but a lot of developers using it and this tool just help them to work with it.
gRPC has been a pain (customization of the generated clients, automation testing, even usual testing). I haven't heard of Ezy (used BloomRPC, insomnia, and another client, all of them were an incomplete solution). I will be sure to check Ezy next time I have to use gRPC.
Some of the features I couldnt find on the gRPC apps I tried were:
1) the ability to have complete information about the request and the response, and also I couldn't add headers to the grpc request.
2) the ability to automate (run the requests without a GUI), the way newman works for postman.
I just wish gRPC would not be used on any new projects and people would use more sensible solutions.
>Can you describe what information you want to see?
Everything there could be (of course maybe in a separate expander). I needed the request/response headers, but maybe somebody could need something even more up the stack (ex. if the connexion was reused or a new one was created).
Also don't know if this is already implemented, but I think the option to generate a curl command for the request should be possible, since curl supports http2.
