Hiccup is a library for generating a string of HTML from a tree of Clojure vectors. It supports dynamically generating HTML, but since 0.2.0 it statically compiles and optimizes where possible. This makes Hiccup very, very fast. Under some circumstances, it even outperforms clj-html.
Here are some recent benchmarks for generating 100,000 HTML pages: clj-html - 4936ms hiccup - 1455ms hiccup (with type hints) - 1252ms str with string literals - 1216ms I've put the benchmark code and more detailed results up as a gist: http://gist.github.com/326028 In the interests of fairness I should note that clj-html performs 17% faster than Hiccup if we replace this: [:ul.times-table (for [n (range 1 13)] [:li n " * 9 = " (* n 9)])] With this somewhat lengthier code: [:ul.times-table (apply str (for [n (range 1 13)] (clj-html/html [:li n " * 9 = " (* n 9)])] Hiccup generates this optimization itself, which is probably why it's out-performing clj-html in this case. The current released version of Hiccup is 0.2.1. I was planning on making a post at 0.2.0, but by the time I got around to it, I had enough commits to make another patch version. - James -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
