gRPC [Java] Master Class: Build Modern API and Microservices - Protocol Buffers & Language Interoperability

The video tutorial explains the workings of GRPC and the importance of protocol buffers. It highlights the advantages of using protocol buffers over JSON, such as reduced payload size and lower CPU usage. The tutorial also covers GRPC's support for multiple languages and its ability to generate code for different languages, facilitating cross-language communication. The benefits of protocol buffers, including efficient data serialization and API evolution without breaking clients, are also discussed.
