Its silly to think protobufs code gen is a advantage. I can take a json object/xml/csv from any API and plug it into a website that will spit out models in any language I want.

The only real advantage of grpc and protobufs have are speed and reduced data transmission.

And hey fair enough man if those are your bottle necks.

How will you know the generated model actually represents everything that can be in the API if you don't have a schema?
