Angular VS Knockout VS Ember (v94)

Revision 94 of this benchmark created by SurelyPlus 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-1.7.2.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="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.1.3/angular.min.js"></script>

<script>
  Ctrl = function($scope){
    $scope.data = [];

    $scope.clear = function(){
        $scope.data = [];
$scope.$digest();
    };
    $scope.pushData = function(item){
        $scope.data.push('ngitem');
$scope.$digest();
    };
  };
  
</script> 



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

<script src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/knockout/knockout-2.2.1.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="https://raw.github.com/wycats/handlebars.js/1.0.rc.2/dist/handlebars.js"></script>
<script src="https://raw.github.com/emberjs/ember.js/release-builds/ember-1.0.0-rc.1.min.js"></script>

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