gRPC [Java] Master Class: Build Modern API and Microservices - gRPC vs REST

The video tutorial compares REST and GRPC, highlighting their differences in communication, performance, and design. REST uses HTTP 1.1 and JSON, focusing on CRUD operations, while GRPC uses HTTP/2 and protocol buffers, offering lower latency and bidirectional streaming. GRPC is more flexible and efficient, with built-in code generation, making it suitable for high-performance APIs. The tutorial concludes that GRPC is superior for scalable APIs.
