About:
Wombat is a modern, cross-platform gRPC client designed for testing and interacting with gRPC services. It provides a user-friendly interface to inspect protobuf definitions and send RPC requests without writing code. The tool simplifies API development by offering real-time communication with gRPC endpoints.
Key Features:
  • Protocol Buffers reflection and file import
  • Bidirectional streaming support
  • Cross-platform desktop application (macOS, Linux, Windows)
  • Automatic UI generation from proto files
Use Cases:
  • Testing gRPC endpoints during development
  • Debugging API communication issues
  • Exploring gRPC service definitions
Alternatives:
  • grpcurl – Command-line tool vs GUI; Wombat provides visual interface while grpcurl is scriptable
  • Bloom RPC – Similar GUI client; Wombat is more actively maintained and lightweight
