gRPC是一个高性能、通用的开源RPC框架，基于ProtoBuf(Protocol Buffers)序列化协议开发，且支持众多开发语言，目前提供C、Java和Go语言版本，分别是grpc、grpc-java、grpc-go。gRPC提供了一种简单的方法来精确地定义服务和为iOS、Android和后台支持服务自动生成可靠性很强的客户端功能库。gRPC基于HTTP/2标准设计，带来诸如双向流、流控、头部压缩、单TCP连接上的多复用请求等特性，使得gRPC在移动设备上表现更好、更省电和节省空间占用。
gRPC优点如下：
（1）平台无关，语言无关，可扩展；
（2）提供了友好的动态库，使用简单；
（3）解析速度快，比对应的XML快约20-100倍；
（4）序列化数据非常简洁、紧凑，与XML相比，其序列化之后的数据量约为1/3到1/10。
官方推荐安装命令：go get google.golang.org/grpc
国内网络环境由于GFW原因，不能直接访问google服务器，报错如下：package google.golang.org/grpc: unrecognized import path "google.golang.org/grpc" (https fetch: Get https://google.golang.org/grpc?go-get=1: dial tcp 216.239.37.1:443: i/o timeout)
因此，在国内网络环境下推荐直接从GitHub下载相应依赖进行安装。

gRPC使用流程如下：
（1）编写.proto描述文件。
（2）编译生成.pb.go文件。
（3）服务端实现约定的接口并提供服务。
（4）客户端按照约定调用方法请求服务。
一个RPC service是一个能够通过参数和返回值进行远程调用的方法。由于gRPC通过将数据编码成Protocal Buffer来实现传输，因此，使用者可以通过Protocal Buffers interface definitioin language(IDL)来定义service method，同时将参数和返回值也定义成Protocal Buffer message类型。gRPC源码目录提供了多个使用示例，本文使用helloworld示例作为模板，helloworld示例目录位于google.golang.org/grpc/examples/helloworld。
在$GOPATH/src目录下创建helloworld目录，包含proto、server、client子目录。proto目录下创建helloworld.proto文件。
helloworld.proto：
syntax = "proto3";
package helloworld;
// The greeting service definition.
service Greeter {
// Sends a greeting
rpc SayHello (HelloRequest) returns (HelloReply) {}
}
// The request message containing the user's name.
message HelloRequest {
string name = 1;
}
// The response message containing the greetings
message HelloReply {
string message = 1;
}helloworld.proto文件中定义了一个Greeter Service，服务包含一个SayHello方法，同时声明了HelloRequest和HelloReply消息结构用于请求和响应。客户端使用HelloRequest参数调用SayHello方法请求服务端，服务端响应HelloReply消息。
根据定义的RPC service，利用protocal buffer compiler，即protoc生成相应的服务器端和客户端的Go代码，生成的代码中包含了客户端能够进行RPC的方法以及服务器端需要进行实现的接口。
在$GOPATH/src/helloworld/proto目录下生成gRPC对应的Go代码的命令如下：protoc --go_out=plugins=grpc:. helloworld.proto
将在目录下生成helloworld.pb.go文件，内容如下：
// Code generated by protoc-gen-go. DO NOT EDIT.
// source: helloworld.proto
package helloworld
import (
context "context"
fmt "fmt"
proto "github.com/golang/protobuf/proto"
grpc "google.golang.org/grpc"

var _ = proto.Marshal
var _ = fmt.Errorf
var _ = math.Inf
// This is a compile-time assertion to ensure that this generated file
// is compatible with the proto package it is being compiled against.
// A compilation error at this line likely means your copy of the
// proto package needs to be updated.
const _ = proto.ProtoPackageIsVersion3 // please upgrade the proto package
// The request message containing the user's name.

在server子目录下创建server.go文件：
package main
import (
"context"
"net"
"google.golang.org/grpc"
pb "helloworld/proto"
"google.golang.org/grpc/reflection"
"google.golang.org/grpc/grpclog"
)
const (
// Address gRPC服务地址
port = ":50051"
)
// server is used to implement helloworld.GreeterServer.
type server struct{}
// SayHello implements helloworld.GreeterServer
func (s *server) SayHello(ctx context.Context, in *pb.HelloRequest) (*pb.HelloReply, error) {
return &pb.HelloReply{Message: "Hello " + in.Name}, nil
}
func main() {
lis, err := net.Listen("tcp", port)
if err != nil {
grpclog.Fatalf("failed to listen: %v", err)
}
// 实例化gRPC Server
s := grpc.NewServer()
// 注册服务
pb.RegisterGreeterServer(s, &server{})
// Register reflection service on gRPC server.
reflection.Register(s)
if err := s.Serve(lis); err != nil {
grpclog.Fatalf("failed to serve: %v", err)
}
}服务端引入编译后的proto包，实现约定的SayHello接口方法，接口描述可以查看helloworld.pb.go文件中的GreeterServer接口描述。实例化grpc Server并注册GreeterService，开始提供服务。
客户端使用gRPC访问服务端：
package main
import (
"context"
"os"
"time"
"google.golang.org/grpc"
pb "helloworld/proto"
"log"
)
const (
address = "localhost:50051"
defaultName = "world"
)
func main() {
// Set up a connection to the server.
conn, err := grpc.Dial(address, grpc.WithInsecure())
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("did not connect: %v", err)
}
defer conn.Close()
c := pb.NewGreeterClient(conn)
// Contact the server and print out its response.
name := defaultName
if len(os.Args) > 1 {
name = os.Args[1]
}
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), time.Second)
defer cancel()
r, err := c.SayHello(ctx, &pb.HelloRequest{Name: name})
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("could not greet: %v", err)
}
log.Printf("Greeting: %s", r.Message)
}
// output:
// 2018/12/17 19:57:47 Greeting: Hello world客户端初始化连接后直接调用声明的方法，即可向服务端发起请求。
在server目录下启动Server：go run main.go
在client目录下启动客户端：go run main.go
客户端接收到服务端的响应：2018/12/17 20:03:44 Greeting: Hello world
