ClickHouse provides three network interfaces (they can be optionally wrapped in TLS for additional security):
2018-03-25 02:04:22 +00:00
- [HTTP](http.md), which is documented and easy to use directly.
- [Native TCP](../interfaces/tcp.md), which has less overhead.
2021-11-20 09:35:23 +00:00
- [gRPC](grpc.md).

In most cases it is recommended to use an appropriate tool or library instead of interacting with those directly. The following are officially supported by ClickHouse:
2019-02-21 07:58:32 +00:00
- [Command-line client](../interfaces/cli.md)
- [JDBC driver](../interfaces/jdbc.md)
- [ODBC driver](../interfaces/odbc.md)
- [C++ client library](../interfaces/cpp.md)
