Can also detect the services based on reflection, if supported by the endpoint. Supports TLS and plaintext (useful for development), plus streaming methods. Can be pipelined with tools like jq because it works with JSON request bodies that it translates to gRPC. Single binary (Golang) and open source. ### Tradeoffs Only supports JSON inputs.
