Thymeleaf Benchmarks

• Benchmark 01: Using the templates and data from the GTVG example application, meant to test different versions of Thymeleaf in non-Spring environments (i.e. using OGNL).
• Benchmark 02: Using the templates and data from the GTVG example application, meant to test different versions of Thymeleaf in Spring 3.x-enabled environments.
• Benchmark 03: Using the templates and data from the GTVG example application, meant to test different versions of Thymeleaf in Spring 4.x-enabled environments.
• Benchmark 04: Using the templates and data from the GTVG example application, meant to test different versions of Thymeleaf in Spring 4.x-enabled environments with SpringEL compilation enabled (for Thymeleaf >= v3).

How to use the Benchmarks

To create the benchmark artifacts:

mvn -P {version} clean compile package

(Currently available version profiles are: 2.1.4, 3.0.0)

To execute jmh benchmarks with CSV output:

java -jar target/thymeleaf-benchmarkXX.jar {BenchmarkName01 BenchmarkName02 ...}? -rf csv -rff benchmarkoutput.csv

Plotting results

To install gnuplot using brew:

$ brew install gnuplot --with-cairo

In order to do the plotting, combine the several .csv files output from the benchmark executions into one called thymeleaf-benchmarks.csv (preferrably changing the names in the first column to smaller, more displayable names) and place it in the projects root folder. Then execute:

$ gnuplot thymeleaf-benchmarks.plot

This should create a file called thymeleaf-benchmarks.png containing the results graph.
