About Warthog
Warthog is a graphical client for gRPC. It parses proto definitions, discovers .proto files and renders the services and input messages as forms, generating inputs for scalar, nested and looped message types.
It supports TLS configuration including plain-text connections, Basic, Bearer token, JWT and GCE authentication, authorization for Google Cloud services and Kubernetes port forwarding. It suits developers who want a desktop tool for gRPC instead of the command line.
Strengths
- Automatic parsing of proto definitions into input forms
- Several authentication methods, including JWT and GCE
- Kubernetes port forwarding built in
Limitations
- gRPC only, no REST or GraphQL
- Small project with a small user base
