Benchmark

This folder contains several models and seed generation script for a basic benchmark.

This benchmark compares jserializer gem against active_model_serializer gem (v0.8) and fast_jsonapi gem.

Note that it's not really apples-to-apples comparison with fast_jsonapi, since the output structure is quite different. But it can still give us a general feel of how the speed should look like when serializing similar amount of data.

Run the benchmark

First, install necessary dependencies:

$ bundle install

then

$ bundle exec ruby run.rb

Files

• xxx_context.rb contains serializer class definitions
• models.rb contains model definitions, and seed generation functions
• run.rb is the main file to run benchmark

Result
