Benchmarks

Zinc maintains an in-process comparison suite against Gin, Echo, and Chi. Each framework performs equivalent work through its idiomatic API.

Current results

The latest full run on an Apple M1 Pro recorded:

• lowest latency for Zinc in 62/77 comparable rows
• lowest latency, or a result within 2% of it, in 63/77 rows
• zero request-time allocations on Zinc’s primary static, parameter, and not-found dispatch paths

Lower values are better. Results vary by workload and machine, and small differences should be confirmed with repeated samples.

What the suite covers

• core routing
• params and wildcard routes
• route misses and method mismatch
• build-time route registration
• realistic route-set scenarios
• binding and response feature paths
• static file hit and miss
