## `zig-http-benchmarks` ⚡
Read the blog post: [**Zig Bits 0x4**](https://blog.orhun.dev/zig-bits-04/)
This repository contains a HTTP server/client implementation using Zig's standard library and benchmarks for comparing the client's performance with implementations in other programming languages such as Rust and Go.
### Prerequisites
- Zig (`>=0.11`), Rust/Cargo, Go, Python
- [Hyperfine](https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine) (for benchmarking)
### Benchmarking
To run the benchmarks:
```sh
chmod +x bench.sh
./bench.sh
```
The result will be saved to `benchmarks.md` and `benchmarks.json`.
```
rust-hyper ran
1.01 ± 0.02 times faster than rust-ureq
1.01 ± 0.02 times faster than rust-reqwest
1.24 ± 0.06 times faster than go-http-client
1.46 ± 0.05 times faster than rust-attohttpc
2.03 ± 0.05 times faster than zig-http-client
4.26 ± 0.12 times faster than curl
8.57 ± 0.12 times faster than python-http-client
19.93 ± 0.25 times faster than cpp-asio-httpclient
```
| Command | Mean [ms] | Min [ms] | Max [ms] | Relative |
| :-------------------- | -----------: | -------: | -------: | -----------: |

| `cpp-asio-httpclient` | 2144.5 ± 4.5 | 2133.0 | 2168.2 | 19.93 ± 0.25 |
### Plotting
Use the [JSON data](https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine#json) along with the [scripts](https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine/tree/master/scripts) from the `hyperfine` examples to plot data using [`matplotlib`](https://matplotlib.org/). For example:
```sh
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine
python hyperfine/scripts/plot_whisker.py benchmarks.json
```
### Environment
The results are coming from a GitHub runner (`ubuntu-latest`) and automated with [this workflow](https://github.com/orhun/zig-http-benchmarks/blob/master/.github/workflows/benchmark.yml).
To see the output for the latest run, check out the [`output`](https://github.com/orhun/zig-http-benchmarks/tree/output) branch in this repository.
