It provides ready-to-import message types and gRPC service stubs for the xDS family of APIs, which are used by control planes to dynamically configure proxies and manage service discovery.\n\nThe package is maintained as part of the gRPC project and eliminates the need to manually compile proto files for common xDS use cases, offering a straightforward import path based on proto package hierarchy. It depends on grpcio and protobuf, both standard gRPC ecosystem libraries. The package supports current Python versions and requires Python >= 3.10.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building or integrating with xDS-based control planes or service mesh tooling. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive Apache-2.0 license, and eliminates proto compilation overhead. Not relevant for projects that do not interact with xDS APIs."},"id":"xds-protos","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/xds-protos","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/xds-protos.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/xds-protos/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-23","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"xds-protos","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Generated Python code from envoyproxy/data-plane-api"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":471450,"position":6481,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.83.0"}
