Comparison with other tools #46
Comments
Sorry, Regards From: Mathieu Perez [mailto:notifications@github.com] Hello, |
@mathpere, a related question is here: Performance isn't the primary goal of the library. Rather portability is. The goal of the project is to develop a production image library with no native dependencies. ImageMagick, etc. require native applications to do the actual image processing. Jimp has no native dependencies. That means Jimp is easier installed and wholly portable. ImageMagick or another native-dependant library will be more performant but at a cost of ease of installation and portability. Whether you go for Jimp or a native-dependent library will depend on your requirements. Sharp added Jimp to their benchmark tests last week. They have yet to publish the results but from initial testing it looks like Jimp is comparable to lwip (native-based) library: If that's the case then the fastest native-dependant library is 14 times faster and ImageMigick is about 4-6 times faster than Jimp: |
Yes, I did understand the philosophy of Jimp. I'd like to know at what price is portability. Thanks for pointing me these links. |
Hello, the performance results for a In summary, the JavaScript |
@lovell thanks so much. Those are really interesting results. |
Hi @lovell , These performance links should be on your README. Everyone who investigates this library are going to want to know the cost of choosing Jimp over other native options. |
@grantcarthew If "your README" refers to sharp then did you see the "benchmark tests" link in https://github.com/lovell/sharp/blob/master/README.md#documentation ? |

@grantcarthew I don't maintain jimp. Perhaps you could submit a PR to jimp with the change you suggest? |
Hello,
Could you provide some comparison / benchmarks with other tools like GraphicsMagick?
Best regards,
Mathieu
