Angular VS Knockout VS Ember (v287)

Revision 287 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

<style>
  #ngapp,
  #koapp,
  #emapp,
  #bsapp { display: none }
</style>
<!-- Jquery -->
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>

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

<script src="http://code.angularjs.org/1.3.0-beta.4/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="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/knockout/3.1.0/knockout-min.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 src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/ember.js/1.3.2/ember.min.js"></script>

<script>
  EMapp = Ember.Application.create({
    rootElement: $('#emapp')
  });
  EMapp.data = Ember.A();
  
  EMclear = function () {
    EMapp.data.setObjects([]);
  };
  EMpush = function (data) {
    EMapp.data.pushObject(data);
  };
</script>

<!-- basis.js -->

<div id="bsapp">
</div>

<script id="basis-list-template" type="text/basis-template">
  <div>
    Basis.js: <span{childNodesElement}/>
  </div>
</script>
<script id="basis-item-template" type="text/basis-template">
  <span>{value}</span>
</script>

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/basis.js/1.2.1/basis.min.js"></script>
<script>
  var list = new basis.ui.Node({
    container: document.getElementById('bsapp'),
    template: 'id:basis-list-template',
    childClass: {
      template: 'id:basis-item-template',
      binding: {
        value: 'value'
      }
    }
  });

  BSclear = function(){
    list.clear();
  };
  BSpush = function(data){
    list.appendChild({ value: data });
  }
</script>
