# Benchmark.js <sup>v1.0.0</sup>
[![build status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/bestiejs/benchmark.js.png)](http://travis-ci.org/bestiejs/benchmark.js)
A [robust](http://calendar.perfplanet.com/2010/bulletproof-javascript-benchmarks/ "Bulletproof JavaScript benchmarks") benchmarking library that works on nearly all JavaScript platforms<sup><a name="fnref1" href="#fn1">1</a></sup>, supports high-resolution timers, and returns statistically significant results. As seen on [jsPerf](http://jsperf.com/).
## Download
* [Development source](https://raw.github.com/bestiejs/benchmark.js/v1.0.0/benchmark.js)
## Dive in
Weve got [API docs](http://benchmarkjs.com/docs) and [unit tests](http://benchmarkjs.com/tests).
For a list of upcoming features, check out our [roadmap](https://github.com/bestiejs/benchmark.js/wiki/Roadmap).
## Support
Benchmark.js has been tested in at least Chrome 5~26, Firefox 2~21, IE 6-10, Opera 9.25-12, Safari 3-6, Node.js 0.4.8-0.10.5, Narwhal 0.3.2, PhantomJS 1.9.0, RingoJS 0.9, and Rhino 1.7RC5.
## Installation and usage
Benchmark.js only hard dependency is [Lo-Dash](http://lodash.com/).
In a browser:
```html
<script src="lodash.js"></script>
<script src="benchmark.js"></script>
```
Optionally, expose Javas nanosecond timer by adding the `nano` applet to the `<body>`:
```html
<applet code="nano" archive="nano.jar"></applet>
```
Or enable Chromes microsecond timer by using the [command line switch](http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/#enable-benchmarking):
--enable-benchmarking
Via [npm](http://npmjs.org/):
```bash
npm install benchmark
```
In [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/) and [RingoJS v0.8.0+](http://ringojs.org/):
```js
var Benchmark = require('benchmark');
```
Optionally, use the [microtime module](https://github.com/wadey/node-microtime) by Wade Simmons:
```bash
npm install microtime
```
In [RingoJS v0.7.0-](http://ringojs.org/):
```js
var Benchmark = require('benchmark').Benchmark;
```
In [Rhino](http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/):
```js
load('benchmark.js');
```
In an AMD loader like [RequireJS](http://requirejs.org/):
```js
require({
'paths': {
'benchmark': 'path/to/benchmark',
'lodash': 'path/to/lodash',
'platform': 'path/to/platform'
}
},
['benchmark'], function(Benchmark) {
console.log(Benchmark.platform.name);
});
```
Usage example:
```js
var suite = new Benchmark.Suite;
// add tests
suite.add('RegExp#test', function() {
/o/.test('Hello World!');
})
.add('String#indexOf', function() {
'Hello World!'.indexOf('o') > -1;
})
// add listeners
.on('cycle', function(event) {
console.log(String(event.target));
})
.on('complete', function() {
console.log('Fastest is ' + this.filter('fastest').pluck('name'));
})
// run async
.run({ 'async': true });
// logs:
// > RegExp#test x 4,161,532 +-0.99% (59 cycles)
// > String#indexOf x 6,139,623 +-1.00% (131 cycles)
// > Fastest is String#indexOf
```
## BestieJS
Benchmark.js is part of the BestieJS *"Best in Class"* module collection. This means we promote solid browser/environment support, ES5+ precedents, unit testing, and plenty of documentation.
