New php router is 25 times faster then klein router

Hi, all! Recently I have decided to measure speed of my router

And results were quite interesting.

I have measured the productivity in two tests:

1. Static routes without any regexp parsing or variables in URI
2. URI with variables

The first test for the Mezon/Router:

// static routes
$routerTest1 = new \Mezon\Router\Router();
$routerTest1->addRoute('/static', function () {
  return 'static';
}, 'GET');
$iterationCount1 = 100000;
$startTime1 = microtime(true);
for ($i = 0; $i < $iterationCount1; $i ++) {
  $routerTest1->callRoute('/static');
}
$endTime1 = microtime(true);

And the second test:

// parametrized routes
$routerTest2 = new \Mezon\Router\Router();
$routerTest2->addRoute('/[i:id]', function () {
  return 'param';
}, 'GET');
$iterationCount2 = 100000;
$startTime2 = microtime(true);
for ($i = 0; $i < $iterationCount2; $i ++) {
  $routerTest2->callRoute('/1');
}
$endTime2 = microtime(true);

For the klein/klein router it is almost the same:

// static routes
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = '/static';
$routerTest1 = new \Klein\Klein();
$routerTest1->respond('GET', '/static', **function** () {
  return 'static';
});
$iterationCount1 = 10000;
$startTime1 = microtime(true);
for ($i = 0; $i < $iterationCount1; $i ++) {
  $routerTest1->dispatch(null,null,true,\Klein\Klein::DISPATCH_CAPTURE_AND_RETURN);
}
$endTime1 = microtime(true);

And the second one:

// parametrized routes
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = '/1';
$routerTest2 = new \Klein\Klein();
$routerTest2->respond('GET', '/[i:id]', function () {
  return 'static';
});
$iterationCount2 = 10000;
$startTime2 = microtime(true);
for ($i = 0; $i < $iterationCount2; $i ++) {
  $routerTest2->dispatch(null,null,true,\Klein\Klein::*DISPATCH_CAPTURE_AND_RETURN*);
}
$endTime2 = *microtime(true);

I have got the following results:

As you can see — Mezon router is up to 25 times faster than Klein router.

What is mezon/router?

mezon/router now is:

• framework for routing with 100% code coverage
• 10.0 points on scrutinizer-ci.com
• router is a part of the Mezon Project
