exec() vs match() vs test() vs search() vs indexOf() vs contains() (v41)

Revision 41 of this benchmark created on

Description

Tests to determine which function is faster for detecting whether a string matches a regex pattern.

Setup

var abcRegex = /abc/;

Test runner

Ready to run.

Testing in
TestOps/sec
exec()
if (abcRegex.exec("xxxxxxxxxabcxxxxxxabcxx") !== null) {
 // String matches regex
}
ready
match()
if ("xxxxxxxxxabcxxxxxxabcxx".match(abcRegex) !== null) {
 // String matches regex
}
ready
test()
if (abcRegex.test("xxxxxxxxxabcxxxxxxabcxx") !== false) {
 // String matches regex
}
ready
search()
if (("xxxxxxxxxabcxxxxxxabcxx").search(abcRegex) !== -1) {
 // String matches regex
}
ready
indexOf()
if ("xxxxxxxxxabcxxxxxxabcxx".indexOf("abc") !== -1) {
 // String matches regex
}
ready
match()
if ("xxxxxxxxxabcxxxxxxabcxx".match("abc") ) {
 // String matches regex
}
ready
search() - not regex
if (("xxxxxxxxxabcxxxxxxabcxx").search("abc") !== -1) {
 // String matches regex
}
ready
contains()
if (("xxxxxxxxxabcxxxxxxabcxx").contains("abc")) {
 // String matches regex
}
ready
