Routers

Router speeds were measured across eight JavaScript routers with real-world routes

We measured the speeds of a bunch of JavaScript routers. For example, find-my-way is a very fast router used inside Fastify.We measured the speeds of a bunch of JavaScript routers.

First, we registered the following routing to each of our routers. These are similar to those used in the real world.First, we registered the following routing to each of our routers.

Then we sent the Request to the endpoints like below.Then we sent the Request to the endpoints like below.Requests were sent to seven endpoint types including wildcard and post Short static, dynamic and wildcard cases each stress a different routing pathRequests were sent to seven endpoint types including wildcard and postRequest endpoints
