Angular VS Knockout VS Ember (v195)

Revision 195 of this benchmark created on

Description

I saw an unfair comparison between Angular, Knockout, ExtJS, and Backbone, and it made me mad. So I created this one.

Preparation HTML

<!-- Jquery -->
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>

<!-- Angular -->
<div ng-app>
  Angular:
  <span ng-controller="Ctrl" id="angList"><span ng-repeat="item in data">{{item}}</span></span>
</div>

<script src="http://code.angularjs.org/1.0.8/angular.min.js"></script>

<script>
  var Ctrl = function($scope){
    $scope.data = [];
  }
  
  angular.element(document).ready(function() {
    var ang_scope = $('#angList').scope();
    
    window.ANGclear = function(){
      ang_scope.data.splice(0, ang_scope.data.length);
      ang_scope.$digest();
    };
    window.ANGpush = function(data){
      ang_scope.data.push(data);
      ang_scope.$digest();
    };
  });
</script> 



<!-- Knockout -->
<div id="koapp">
  Knockout:
  <span data-bind="foreach: data"><span data-bind="text: $data"></span></span>
</div>

<script src="http://knockoutjs.com/downloads/knockout-2.3.0.js"></script>

<script>
  var KOData = ko.observableArray();
  var KOviewmodel = {data: KOData};
  
  ko.applyBindings(KOviewmodel, document.getElementById('koapp'));
  var KOclear = function (){
    KOData.splice(0, KOData().length);
  };
  var KOpush = function (data){
    KOData.push(data);
  };
</script>


<!-- Ember -->

<div id="emapp">
  Ember:
<script type="text/x-handlebars">
    <span>
      {{#each EMapp.data}}<span>{{this}}</span>{{/each}}
    </span>
</script>
</div>

<script>
  var ENV = {EXTEND_PROTOTYPES: false};
</script>

<script src="http://builds.emberjs.com/handlebars-1.0.0.js"></script>
<script src="http://builds.emberjs.com/tags/v1.0.0/ember.min.js"></script>

<script>
  EMapp = Ember.Application.create({
    rootElement: $('#emapp')[0]
  });
 

  EMapp.data = Ember.A();
  
  EMclear = function () {
    EMapp.data.clear();
  };
  EMpush = function (data) {
    EMapp.data.pushObject(data);
  };
</script>
