# Hello World This example demonstrates the canonical "Hello World" in gRPC. ## Overview A "hello-world" command line tool that uses generated stubs for the 'Greeter' service which allows you to start a server and to make requests against it. The tool uses the [SwiftNIO](https://github.com/grpc/grpc-swift-nio-transport) HTTP/2 transport. ## Usage Build and run the server using the CLI: ```console $ swift run hello-world serve Greeter listening on [ipv4]127.0.0.1:31415 ``` Use the CLI to send a request to the service: ```console $ swift run hello-world greet Hello, stranger ``` Send the name of the greetee in the request by specifying a `--name`: ```console $ swift run hello-world greet --name "PanCakes 🐶" Hello, PanCakes 🐶 ```
