I'm currently working on creating a LabVIEW server and LabVIEW client for gRPC. I would like to know if LabVIEW is one of the supported languages for protocol buffers for gRPC?

There is an open source repository where NI has been building tools to enable users to create a LabVIEW Server gRPC interface: https://github.com/ni/grpc-labview

There is not currently a lot of client support for gRPC in LabVIEW.

LabVIEW is not currently supported for gRPC, for official information on supported languages refer to the gRPC Languages page.

There have been attempts at implementation using either C++, .Net or Python integration but no official packages that I am aware of.

Full gRPC implementation in a language is a pretty complex process that must enable a language to build classes based on the configuration of a Protobuf definition file.

  • Unfortunately I do not have a working example of this code. I know it is possible as I have seen a colleagues working implementation but that source code has since been lost. The caveat for this is that a significant portion of the gRPC implementation is the custom generation of classes for handling various protobuf files. This is not something that is readily handled under LabVIEW without a _LOT_ of scripting development. – Steve Apr 05 '21 at 20:53
