golang-mux-benchmark

A collection of benchmarks for popular Go web frameworks.

Frameworks

• gocraft/web
• gorilla/mux
• Martini
• Tiger Tonic
• Traffic

Benchmarks

• Simple - A single route, GET /action. Renders 'hello'.
• RouteN - Where N is the total number of routes that roughly approximate a REST API. The routes are as follows:
  • Three namespaces: /admin, /api, /site
  • Within each namespace, N/15 resources. Each resource is a random string. Each resource specifies 5 routes:
    • GET /resources
    • GET /resources/:id
    • POST /resources
    • PUT /resources/:id
    • DELETE /resources/:id
• Middleware - Run 6 middleware functions before invoking a hello handler.
• Composite
  • 6 Middleware functions
  • 150 Routes
  • The first middleware function sets a value that the handler must read and render.
