Pure JavaScript gRPC Client
Note: This is an beta-level release. Some APIs may not yet be present and there may be bugs. Please report any that you encounter

This library does not directly handle .proto files. To use .proto files with this library we recommend using the @grpc/proto-loader package.
Some Notes on API Guarantees
The public API of this library follows semantic versioning, with some caveats:
- Some methods are prefixed with an underscore. These methods are internal and should not be considered part of the public API.
- The class
Callis only exposed due to limitations of TypeScript. It should not be considered part of the public API. - In general, any API that is exposed by this library but is not exposed by the
grpclibrary is likely an error and should not be considered part of the public API.
