< p > Well, it depends. Some tested routing libs seem to spend more time resolving the routes than it takes to encode & decode a 1k JSON payload. For busy sites, this actually matters.< / p >

< p > Based on some < a href = "https://github.com/metosin/reitit/tree/master/perf-test/clj/reitit" target = "_blank" > quick perf tests< / a > , the first (static path) lookup is 300-500x faster and the second (wildcard path) lookup is 4-24x faster that the other tested routing libs (ataraxy, bidi, compojure and pedestal).< / p >
< p > But, one shoudn' t trust the benchmarks. Many libraries (here: compojure, pedestal and ataraxy) always match also on the request-method so they do more work. Also, real-life routing tables might look different and different libs might behave differently.< / p >
< p > But, the perf should be good.< / p >

2017-11-01 16:58:03 +00:00
< p > Real value of perf tests is to get a internal baseline to optimize against. Also, to ensure that new features don' t regress the performance.< / p >
< p > It might be interesting to look out of the box and compare the fast Clojure routing libs to routers in other languages, like the < a href = "https://github.com/julienschmidt/go-http-routing-benchmark" target = "_blank" > routers in Go< / a > .< / p >

< li > It' s ok to mix non-wildcard and wildcard routes in a same routing tree as long as you don' t disable the < a href = "basics/route_conflicts.html" > conflict resolution< / a > => if no conflicting routes are found, a < code > :mixed-router< / code > can be created, which internally has a fast static path router and a separate wildcard-router.
