Detailed Comparison
An architectural style for developing web services. A distributed system framework that uses Web protocols and technologies. | It is a binary protocol for use on byte stream transports such as TCP, WebSockets, and Aeron. It provides a protocol for Reactive Streams semantics between client-server, and server-server communication. |

What are some alternatives to REST, RSocket?
gRPC
gRPC is a modern open source high performance RPC framework that can run in any environment. It can efficiently connect services in and across data centers with pluggable support for load balancing, tracing, health checking...
JSON-RPC
It is a very simple protocol, defining only a few data types and commands. It allows for notifications (data sent to the server that does not require a response) and for multiple calls to be sent to the server which may be answered out of order.
Apache Dubbo
It is a high-performance, light weight, java based RPC framework. Dubbo offers three key functionalities, which include interface based remote call, fault tolerance & load balancing, and automatic service registration & discovery.
Mercury
A modular JSON-RPC library that allows pluggable transport layers, JSON libraries, and effect/async monads. It is used to communicate with embedded devices where the device is acting in the server role.
Tars
It is an open-source microservice platform. It contains a high-performance RPC framework and a service management platform. Based on Tars, you can develop a reliable microservice system efficiently. It is designed for high reliability, high performance, and efficient service management. By significantly reducing system operation work, developers can focus on business logic and meet fast changes of user requirements.
Kitex
It is a high-performance and strong-extensibility Golang RPC framework that helps developers build microservices. If performance and extensibility are the main concerns when you develop microservices, it can be a good choice.
Gravity Framework
It is a modern back-end framework with full-stack capacities written in Typescript. Its main feature is to facilitate communication in a safe way between server and client by using a remote procedure call system. It will give you the power to call a function defined in the server directly from the client - like if it's just a normal Javascript function.
FRPC
It is a proto3-compatible RPC Framework that's designed from the ground up to be lightweight, extensible, and extremely performant. On average fRPC outperforms other RPC frameworks by 2-4x in an apples-to-apples comparison, and is easily able to handle more than 2 million RPCs/second on a single server.
