js-framework-benchmark

This is a simple benchmark for several javascript frameworks. The benchmarks creates a large table with randomized entries and measures the time for various operations.

This work is derived from a benchmark that Richard Ayotte published on https://gist.github.com/RichAyotte/a7b8780341d5e75beca7 and adds more framework and more operations. Thanks for the great work.

Thanks to Baptiste Augrain for making the benchmarks more sophisticated and adding frameworks.

Install docker instruction.

Building and Host

• To build and host all avalable frameworks and host them on localhost:

run.host.docker.sh

Running in the browser

Open http://localhost:80 and choose the directory for the framework you want to test. Most actions will try to measure the duration and print it to the console. Depending on the framework this might be more or less precise. To measure the exact numbers one needs to use e.g. the timeline from the chrome dev tools.

About the benchmarks

• create rows: Duration for creating 1000 rows after the page loaded.
• replace all rows: Duration for updating all 1000 rows of the table (with 5 warmup iterations).
• partial update: Time to update the text of every 10th row (with 5 warmup iterations).
• select row: Duration to highlight a row in response to a click on the row. (with 5 warmup iterations).
• swap rows: Time to swap 2 rows on a 1K table. (with 5 warmup iterations).
• remove row: Duration to remove a row. (with 5 warmup iterations).
• create many rows: Duration to create 10,000 rows
• append rows to large table: Duration for adding 1000 rows on a table of 10,000 rows.
• clear rows: Duration to clear the table filled with 10.000 rows.
• clear rows a 2nd time: Time to clear the table filled with 10.000 rows. But warmed up with only one iteration.
• ready memory: Memory usage after page load.
• run memory: Memory usage after adding 1000 rows.

For all benchmarks the duration is measured including rendering time. You can read some details on this article. The results of this benchmark is outlined on by blog (round 1, round 2, round 3 and round 4).

Execute the benchmarks with webdriver

run.tests.docker.sh

• To run specific frameworks [ knockout react vue ] you can call it like:

run.tests.docker.sh --framework knockout react vue or run.my.tests.docker.sh

Open http://localhost:80/webdriver-ts/table.html for the results

runs the test for all frameworks that contain either angular or bob, which means all angular versions and bobril. After that you'll want to update the result table with
