Building and maintaining APIs is often a complex and time-consuming process. Developers need to manage RESTful endpoints, handle JSON serialization, maintain client libraries, and ensure backward compatibility while keeping API documentation up to date. webrpc offers a streamlined alternative—a lightweight schema and code-generation tool that simplifies API development. With webrpc, developers can define APIs and generate strongly-typed clients and servers in Go, TypeScript, Kotlin, Dart, and even OpenAPI documentation. At its core, webrpc uses Go templates for code generation, making it highly flexible and easy to customize. In this talk, we’ll explore the motivation behind webrpc, how it differs from traditional REST and gRPC approaches, and the advantages of its simple, declarative API definitions. Through a real-world example, we’ll demonstrate how webrpc can improve developer productivity, reduce boilerplate, and enable seamless client-server communication.
