This Rails application is used to benchmark two gems : rabl and rabl-rails, both that allows to write API representation for your models as views.
Use rake test TEST=<path_to_test> to launch the tests
Tests are under test/performance/. Rendering cases tested are :
- single model without extends
- single model with extend
- collection of 30 objects without extend
- collection of 30 objects with extend
- deep nesting models
- single model with partial
Tests use JSON format.
More tests cases are welcome
rabl-rails gem is ~5% faster when rendering single object, but can be 50% faster when rendering collection with extends (one of the most used case through applications).
rabl-rails alse use less memory globally, around 10%, with 50% less memory used on collection with extend.
See BENCHMARK for details.
If you want to provide another benchmark tests, please fork the code, fix in your local project and then send a pull request on github.
