API Development
In the Try It scenario, why is gRPC a poor fit for a public API consumed directly by third-party browser apps?
A
gRPC cannot handle public traffic at all
B
It forces every external developer (or the team itself) to deal with grpc-web proxying, adding real integration friction that erodes gRPC's wire-format advantage once translated for the browser anyway
C
gRPC is always slower than REST
D
Public APIs cannot use Protocol Buffers
