Details

There are 3 main scripts to be run and are in the folder src

• src/server.ts: starts a grpc server with MessageService in port 8080
• src/client.ts: Runs a client that executes each endpoint of MessageService to show what GRPC is capable of
• src/printMessages.ts: Uses protobufjs directly to compare messages in jsonformat vs messages in binary format serialized by protocol buffers

All protocol buffer files are in src/proto folder
