# Object-Oriented vs. Procedural: A Profiling Insight into Java Method Usage Patterns

[![DOI](https://zenodo.org/badge/785611469.svg)](https://zenodo.org/doi/10.5281/zenodo.11060929)

In contemporary software development, the extent to which Java applications

utilize object-oriented programming paradigms remains a subject of interest.

Given that some studies highlight the significant overhead of OOP, it is crucial

to examine how modern applications address this issue and determine if they tend

to shift towards procedural approach for enhanced performance. This study

evaluates the runtime behavior of 28 open source Java frameworks, with the help

of [YourKit](https://www.yourkit.com) profiler. We observed a dominant

percentage of instance methods and constructors compared to static methods. That

signifies a developer’s preference for the object-oriented approach much more

frequently than the procedural approach, despite its associated drawbacks.

## Structure of the Repository

This mono-repository contains the following modules:

- [cost-of-oop](cost-of-oop/README.md) - the main module with the profiling

  results of 28 Java frameworks. This module contains all scripts used for

  profiling each program. This includes the program startup procedures, the

  initialization of the profiler, result exports, and testing scripts such as

  those for Apache JMeter projects.

- [oop-statistics-filter](oop-statistics-filter/README.md) - the module that

  holds the code that aggregates the profiling results received in the

  [cost-of-oop](cost-of-oop/README.md) module. This module creates final CSV

  files that might be used for further analysis.
