Consume Rest API endpoint using grpc client

[A Kumar]

Hi,

We have couple of service providers who have exposed their endpoints as grpc and rest.
is it possible to consumer a restful endpoint using grpc client consumer in java->spring boot?

I'm not a 100% sure, but I don't think you can consume generic RESTful resources using a gRPC client.

If you want to consume a RESTful API, use a REST client.

If you want to consume a gRPC API, use a gRPC client.

You can do both of these things in Java. Whether Spring is involved is irrelevant.
