Hey @hydra1983,

I've converted this into a discussion. Have you tried profiling your code yet? Node.js features some pretty good profiling that should help you identify bottlenecks.

Generally, Chevrotain has been the fastest option for parsing text in the JS space for me. However, it is easy to accidentally run into slow behavior. For example, do you get any parser errors? Or does the whole input parse without errors? Do you recreate the parser during your benchmark, or do you use the same object for the whole benchmark?

Hey @hydra1983,

I've converted this into a discussion. Have you tried profiling your code yet? Node.js features some pretty good profiling that should help you identify bottlenecks.

Generally, Chevrotain has been the fastest option for parsing text in the JS space for me. However, it is easy to accidentally run into slow behavior. For example, do you get any parser errors? Or does the whole input parse without errors? Do you recreate the parser during your benchmark, or do you use the same object for the whole benchmark?

below is my benchmark code

import { benchmarkSuite } from 'jest-bench';
import { FormulaCalculator, FormulaCalculatorImpl } from '../src';
import { Antlr4FormulaCalculator } from '../src/lib/calculator/antlr4/formula.calculator';
import { ChevrotainFormulaCalculator } from '../src/lib/calculator/chevrotain/formula.calculator';

let antlrCalculator: FormulaCalculator;
let chevrotainCalculator: FormulaCalculator;
const formula = {
  expression: '1',
};

benchmarkSuite('antlrCalculator', {
  setupSuite() {
    antlrCalculator = new FormulaCalculatorImpl(undefined, undefined, new Antlr4FormulaCalculator());
  },

  ['antlrCalculator.calculate']: () => {
    antlrCalculator.calculate(formula);
  },
});

benchmarkSuite('chevrotainCalculator', {
  setupSuite() {
    chevrotainCalculator = new FormulaCalculatorImpl(undefined, undefined, new ChevrotainFormulaCalculator());
  },

  ['chevrotainCalculator.calculate']: () => {
    chevrotainCalculator.calculate(formula);
  },
});

All unit tests with antlr4 passed
