A robust benchmarking library that works on nearly all JavaScript platforms1, supports high-resolution timers, and returns statistically significant results. As seen on jsPerf.
We’ve got API docs and unit tests.
For a list of upcoming features, check out our roadmap.
Benchmark.js has been tested in at least Chrome 526, Firefox 220, IE 6-10, Opera 9.25-12, Safari 3-6, Node.js 0.4.8-0.10.5, Narwhal 0.3.2, PhantomJS 1.9.0, RingoJS 0.9, and Rhino 1.7RC5.
Benchmark.js’ only hard dependency is Lo-Dash.
In a browser:
<script src="lodash.js"></script>
<script src="benchmark.js"></script>Optionally, expose Java’s nanosecond timer by adding the nano applet to the <body>:
<applet code="nano" archive="nano.jar"></applet>Or enable Chrome’s microsecond timer by using the command line switch:
--enable-benchmarking
Via npm:
npm install benchmarkIn Node.js and RingoJS v0.8.0+:
var Benchmark = require('benchmark');Optionally, use the microtime module by Wade Simmons:
npm install microtimeIn RingoJS v0.7.0-:
var Benchmark = require('benchmark').Benchmark;In Rhino:
load('benchmark.js');In an AMD loader like RequireJS:
require({
'paths': {
'benchmark': 'path/to/benchmark',
'lodash': 'path/to/lodash',
'platform': 'path/to/platform'
}
},
['benchmark'], function(Benchmark) {
console.log(Benchmark.platform.name);
});Usage example:
var suite = new Benchmark.Suite;
// add tests
suite.add('RegExp#test', function() {
/o/.test('Hello World!');
})
.add('String#indexOf', function() {
'Hello World!'.indexOf('o') > -1;
})
// add listeners
.on('cycle', function(event) {
console.log(String(event.target));
})
.on('complete', function() {
console.log('Fastest is ' + this.filter('fastest').pluck('name'));
})
// run async
.run({ 'async': true });
// logs:
// > RegExp#test x 4,161,532 +-0.99% (59 cycles)
// > String#indexOf x 6,139,623 +-1.00% (131 cycles)
// > Fastest is String#indexOfBenchmark.js is part of the BestieJS "Best in Class" module collection. This means we promote solid browser/environment support, ES5+ precedents, unit testing, and plenty of documentation.
