• Contract: REST commonly uses OpenAPI (optional); gRPC requires a .proto file and generates code.
• Performance: gRPC uses binary Protocol Buffers over HTTP/2, usually smaller and faster; REST commonly sends JSON over HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/2.
• Tooling: REST is easy to test with curl and browsers; gRPC needs special clients (grpcurl).
• Browsers cannot call gRPC directly; they need gRPC-Web or a gateway.
• Typical split: REST for public APIs, gRPC for internal service-to-service calls with strict contracts.
