Real life comparison of Symfony router and Mezon router. Part 2

#symfony #php #laravel #yii2

Intro

Hi all! Since the last article I have got some feedback. And the time has come to improve benchmark according to this feedback.

Improvements

The author of the CompiledUrlMatcher Nikolas Grekas pointed on mistake in this case:

for ($i = 0; $i < \Mezon\Benchmark\Base::$iterationsAmount; $i ++) {
    $staticRoutes = \Mezon\Benchmark\RouteGenerator::generateSymfonyStaticRoutes(1000);

    $dumper = new CompiledUrlMatcherDumper($staticRoutes);

    $requestContext = new RequestContext();
    $requestContext->fromRequest(Request::createFromGlobals());

    $staticMatcher = new CompiledUrlMatcher($dumper->getCompiledRoutes(), $requestContext);
    $staticMatcher->match('/static/' . rand(0, ROUTES_AMOUNT - 1))['controller']();
}

He have told that $dumper->getCompiledRoutes() should not be called in array. Very reasonable. So I have changed the benchmark and now it looks like this:

// before the benchmark we shall compile routes and store them into cache
$staticRoutes = \Mezon\Benchmark\RouteGenerator::generateSymfonyStaticRoutes(1000);
$dumperStatic = new CompiledUrlMatcherDumper($staticRoutes);
file_put_contents(
    __DIR__ . '/../../../cache/static-cache.php',
    '<?php return ' . var_export($dumperStatic->getCompiledRoutes(), true) . ';');

And then we shall use this cache in the case:

for ($i = 0; $i < \Mezon\Benchmark\Base::$iterationsAmount; $i ++) {
    $requestContext = new RequestContext();
    $requestContext->fromRequest(Request::createFromGlobals());

    $compiledRoutes = require __DIR__ . '/../../../cache/static-cache.php';

    $staticMatcher = new CompiledUrlMatcher($compiledRoutes, $requestContext);
    $staticMatcher->match('/static/' . rand(0, \Mezon\Benchmark\Base::$iterationsAmount - 1))['controller']();
}

And what are the results? )

Mezon router is almost in all cases faster then Symfony's default UrlMatcher;
But if you agree to dig into Symfony's CompiledUrlMatcher - it will be the best choice.
