Benchmarking programming languages and web frameworks

Gin (Go)

Gin is a high-performance HTTP web framework written in Go (Golang) built on top of HttpRouter, the fastest HTTP router for Go. It provides a simple API for building robust web applications and microservices with an emphasis on speed and efficiency. Gin includes helpful features like middleware support, error management, and JSON validation.

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

Framework	Requests per second Indicates how many requests per second the framework can handle. (higher is better)	Latency Indicates how long it takes to process a request. (lower is better)	Stability Indicates how stable the framework is under load: median / P99 latency (higher is better)	Memory Indicates how much memory (RAM) the framework uses. (lower is better)

Memory Management

Garbage Collection

Go is a statically typed, compiled programming language designed at Google that is syntactically similar to C but with memory safety and garbage collection. It is designed to be simple, efficient, and readable with a focus on concurrent programming. Go is widely used for building network servers, data pipelines, and command-line tools.
