 `custom options <https://cloud.google.com/service-management/reference/rpc/google.api#http>`_.
 
+JSON mapping
+------------
+
+The protobuf to JSON mapping is defined `here <https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/proto3#json>`_. For
+gRPC stream request parameters, Envoy expects an array of messages, and it returns an array of messages for stream
+response parameters.

+Sample Envoy configuration
+--------------------------
+
+Here's a sample Envoy configuration that proxies to a gRPC server running on localhost:50051. Port 51051 proxies
+gRPC requests and uses the gRPC-JSON transcoder filter to provide the RESTful JSON mapping. I.e., you can make either
+gRPC or RESTful JSON requests to localhost:51051.
