# Drivers and Interfaces
|
|
|
|
ClickHouse provides three network interfaces (they can be optionally wrapped in TLS for additional security):
|
|
|
|
- [HTTP](http.md), which is documented and easy to use directly.
|
|
- [Native TCP](../interfaces/tcp.md), which has less overhead.
|
|
- [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:
|
|
|
|
- [Command-line client](../interfaces/cli.md)
|
|
- [JDBC driver](../interfaces/jdbc.md)
|
|
- [ODBC driver](../interfaces/odbc.md)
|
|
- [C++ client library](../interfaces/cpp.md)
|
|
|
|
ClickHouse server provides embedded visual interfaces for power users:
|
|
|
|
- Play UI: open `/play` in the browser;
|
|
- Advanced Dashboard: open `/dashboard` in the browser;
|
|
- Binary symbols viewer for ClickHouse engineers: open `/binary` in the browser;
|
|
|
|
There are also a wide range of third-party libraries for working with ClickHouse:
|
|
|
|
- [Client libraries](../interfaces/third-party/client-libraries.md)
|
|
- [Integrations](../interfaces/third-party/integrations.md)
|
|
- [Visual interfaces](../interfaces/third-party/gui.md)
