Managing gRPC with Wire
summary
Wire is a production Gradle-backed tool at Cash App that generates gRPC and Protobuf code for Android iOS and services and it claims smoother Proto3 support versus protoc by mapping google well known types to JVM types and handling JSON per the spec. It provides option annotations via emit-declared-options and emit-applied-options, a plugin pipeline that parses links prunes and generates Kotlin Java Swift (and gRPC stubs), and a dependency pattern using protopath to avoid transitive re‑generation; a protogram decoder exists and the system is used companywide.
