This benchmark intended to test full stack functionalities of a framework. This benchmark tests framework efficiency on routing request, parsing request body, validating data or converting data into expected type.
Most TypeScript framework uses other framework as its core http server such as Loopback uses Express as its core http server, Nest has an ability to dynamically change the core framework etc, thats make req/s of frameworks vary based on its core http server speed.
Since frameworks uses vary core http server, the req/s score can't be use as a indicator of an efficient framework.
Framework Cost is score of framework inefficiency (the lower the better). It is percentage of req/sec lost from its core http server.
To get a proper framework cost calculation, Koa and Express included in this benchmark also prepared with router, body parser and validator like below:
| Framework | Router | Body Parser | Validator |
|---|---|---|---|
| Koa | koa-router | koa-body | joi |
| Express | Built-in | body-parser | joi |
| Plumier | Built-in | Built-in | Built-in |
| Loopback 4 | Built-in | Built-in | Built-in |
| Nest | Built-in | Built-in | Built-in |
