Benchmark of PSR-7 and PSR-17 implementation

This test performance for PSR-7 and PSR-17 implementations. We just create Request, ServerRequest, Reponse, Stream, Uri, UploadFile and corresponding factories objects and measure the time. Note that the number does not really matter. It is the difference between them that are interesting (higher is better).

Note: For more honest test results, disable the PHP CLI debugger and profiler tools before running the benchmark.

Usage

Install:

git clone git@github.com:devanych/psr-http-benchmark.git
cd psr-http-benchmark
composer update

Runs:

php benchmark.php <package> [runs]

# The default number of runs is 30000.
php benchmark.php httpsoft 30000
# equivalently to:
php benchmark.php httpsoft
