Freemarker 2.3.23 vs Thymeleaf 3.0.0BETA02 vs Velocity 1.7 vs JSP (latest builds as of March, 2016)
Closed this issue · 5 comments
I updated the POM to reflect the latest releases of Freemarker (2.3.23). I considered the beta release of Thymeleaf as they claim a significant performance boost. Velocity & JSP are the same as before. I have attached the changes I had to make to a few files to run the latest builds. I used ApacheBench v2.3. If you plan on running the tests, make sure you restart Tomcat each time, before running. Here are the results:-

Thanks a lot for the feedback and test. I'll see if I can incorporate your changes in the project.
i was found that freemarker is the best selected，is right？
Well, what is 'best' completely depends on the situation. Freemarker seems to be really fast in several tests, but keep in mind that between Freemarker, JSP and velocity the speed difference is not that big (less than a second difference over 25.000 requests). Thymeleaf is on the other hand slower, but it does have a lot of nice features like natural templating, etc. It all comes down to what you need.
Thank you very much. It is very useful
