Methodology

  • Each benchmark includes 3 warmup runs before measurements
  • Times are measured using hrtime(true) for nanosecond precision
  • Statistics include: average, minimum, maximum, median, and 95th percentile
  • Operations per second calculated as: iterations / (total_time_seconds)
  • All validators configured with equivalent rules for fair comparison

Test Scenarios

  1. Simple Validation: 3 fields with basic rules (required, string, email, integer, min/max)
  2. Complex Nested Validation: 10 fields in nested structure with various rules
  3. Array/Wildcard Validation: Array of 3 items with wildcard rules
  4. Conditional Validation: 4 fields with conditional rules (required_if equivalent)
  5. Email-Heavy Validation: 5 email fields to test email parsing performance
  6. Numeric-Heavy Validation: 8 numeric fields with range constraints
  7. Large Scale Validation: 1000 fields to test scalability
