What is the difference between RPC and calling web service

Tags:

I just read about rpc http://www.grpc.io/ remote procedure calling, other hand we have a webservice where client send a request to server and server responds.

Same things goes with rpc where stub calls a method which is at server end. I think same things can be implemented with the help of webservice.

What rpc can make a difference and where it is better to use ?

What is the main difference between RPC and conventional procedure call?

Differences: RPC is slower than LPC since it uses the network to invoke the method. With RPC the procedure call can be executed on a remote machine which can be addressed in several ways. The parameters and return value need to be serializable (to use java terminology).

What is meant by RPC in Web services?

Remote Procedure Call is a software communication protocol that one program can use to request a service from a program located in another computer on a network without having to understand the network's details. RPC is used to call other processes on the remote systems like a local system.

What is the difference between RPC and REST?

The most fundamental difference between RPC and REST is that RPC was designed for actions, while REST is resource-centric. RPC executes procedures and commands with ease. Alternatively, REST is ideal for domain modeling and handling large quantities of data. Next, let's look at communication protocols.

How does RPC call work?

RPC is a request–response protocol. An RPC is initiated by the client, which sends a request message to a known remote server to execute a specified procedure with supplied parameters. The remote server sends a response to the client, and the application continues its process.
