Will tonic ever support message reflection/introspection?

Feature Request

Seems message introspection is a widely-used feature in c++/go grpc servers. Do you have plans to introduce message reflection to tonic?

Alternatives

https://github.com/andrewhickman/prost-reflect does allow message reflection, but it seems incompatible with tonic.

UPD, prost-reflect is compatible with tonic, may close the issue

You can use tonic-reflection, it is developed in this repository alongside tonic.

Afaiu it's meant for only a special purpose of supporting client reflection API, but I need message introspection on server, being able to dynamically inspect incoming fields/values

[acrrd]

I used it for the client reflection, if you need it on the server side I don't know if it can help

[aliaksei-imi]

Yeah, the only option is prost-reflect
