Bun HTTP Framework Benchmark

Compare throughput benchmarks from various JavaScript HTTP framework

Test method: Average throughput

1. Ping
   • Request to [GET] /
   • Return hi
   • Headers must contains text Content-Type: text/plain, additional context is acceptable eg. Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
2. Query
   • Request to [GET] /id/:id
   • Extract path parameter, query string and setting headers.
   • For this benchmark, the request URL will be send as: /id/1?name=bun
   • Headers must contains x-powered-by to benchmark
   • Expected response: "1 bun" (${id} ${query})
     • You MUST NOT use hardcode string or index to extract querystring.
     • In a real-world situation, there's no enforcement that the request will follow the specification, using hardcode index to extract name=bun querystring will be prone to error.
     • To test if it pass the requirement, the implementation should be able to extract querystring dynamically (please treat the value of 'name=bun' can be any value beside 'bun', for example 'alice', 'hina'), which means that the same code should be able to extract querystring, for example:
     • /id/1?name=bun&id=1 -> should return 1 bun not 1 bun&id=1
     • /id/1?id=1 -> should return 1
     • Query beside name maybe not need to be extracted and is optional
   • Headers must contains text Content-Type: text/plain, additional context is acceptable eg. Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
3. Body
   • [POST] /json
   • Mirror body to response
   • Server MUST parse body to JSON and serialize back to string
   • For the benchmark, the request body will be sent as: { "hello": "world" }
   • Expected response: { "hello": "world" }
   • Headers must contains text Content-Type: application/json, additional context is acceptable eg. Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8.

requirement
