Can I use gRPC directly in a web browser?

Standard browsers cannot speak raw gRPC natively; you must use gRPC-Web with a proxy or opt for REST/SignalR for browser clients.

Does this skill support the latest .NET versions?

Yes, it includes guidance for modern features like TypedResults.ServerSentEvents introduced in .NET 10.

When should I choose gRPC over REST for .NET services?

Use gRPC for high-throughput, internal service-to-service communication where strongly-typed contracts and lowest possible latency are required.

Is SignalR better than SSE for server push?

SignalR is best for bidirectional communication; however, if you only need one-way server-to-client updates, SSE is lighter and browser-native.

How does this handle Native AOT?

The skill provides guidance on AOT-friendly serialization, such as using Protobuf for gRPC or source-generated System.Text.Json contexts for REST.

API Development

Guides the selection and implementation of optimal communication protocols like gRPC, SignalR, and REST for .NET services.

This skill serves as a high-level routing and decision-making framework for choosing the right inter-service communication protocol in .NET applications. It provides a detailed decision matrix comparing gRPC, SignalR, Server-Sent Events (SSE), JSON-RPC 2.0, and REST based on critical factors such as latency, throughput, browser support, and directionality. By mapping specific project requirements to specialized implementation patterns, this skill ensures that developers architect efficient, scalable, and AOT-compatible communication layers for both public-facing APIs and internal microservices.
