grpc/src/cpp

Overview

This directory contains source code for C++ implementation of gRPC.

To install gRPC for C++ on your system, follow the instructions to build from source here. This also installs the protocol buffer compiler protoc (if you don't have it already), and the C++ gRPC plugin for protoc.

Documentation

You can find out how to build and run our simplest gRPC C++ example in our C++ quick start.

For more detailed documentation on using gRPC in C++ , see our main documentation site at grpc.io, specifically:

• Overview: An introduction to gRPC with a simple Hello World example in all our supported languages, including C++.
• gRPC Basics - C++: A tutorial that steps you through creating a simple gRPC C++ example application.
• Asynchronous Basics - C++: A tutorial that shows you how to use gRPC C++'s asynchronous/non-blocking APIs.

Examples

Code examples for gRPC C++ live in this repository's examples/cpp directory.
