Benchmarking programming languages and web frameworks

HttpServer (Dart)

HttpServer is a low-level web server class in Dart, part of the dart:io library. It provides basic HTTP server functionality that serves as a foundation for more complex web applications and frameworks. HttpServer is typically used for smaller tasks or as a component within more comprehensive Dart web frameworks.

This benchmark tests how fast a framework can perform concurrent HTTP requests, I/O operations, and JSON de/serialization.

About Dart

Paradigm

Object-Oriented, Functional, Imperative

Execution

JIT, AOT

Typing

Static

Null Safety

YES

Memory Management

Garbage Collection

Dart is a client-optimized programming language developed by Google for building user interfaces with event-driven programming. It supports both just-in-time and ahead-of-time compilation for development flexibility and deployment performance. Dart is the programming language behind Flutter, Google's UI toolkit for building applications across multiple platforms.
