About:
protoc-gen-grpc-java is a protocol buffer compiler plugin that generates Java code for gRPC services and clients. It integrates with the protoc compiler to automatically create stubs and message classes from .proto definitions. This tool enables developers to quickly build high-performance, type-safe RPC applications in Java using the gRPC framework.

Key Features:

Generates non-blocking and blocking client stubs
Supports both plain gRPC and gRPC with protobuf
Integrates seamlessly with the protoc compiler
Generates code for modern Java versions
Supports service interfaces for easy implementation

Use Cases:

Building microservices with gRPC in Java applications
Generating client code for consuming gRPC services
Creating server-side service skeletons from protobuf definitions
Automating API code generation in build pipelines

Alternatives:

protoc-gen-grpc-web – Generates gRPC client code for web browsers instead of Java
protoc-gen-go – Go language equivalent for generating gRPC code
