To implement an Analyzer for evaluation of the performance of Recent Web Development Frameworks

Abstract

Everything you see, click, and interact with on a website is the work of front-end web development. Client-side frameworks and scripting languages like JavaScript and various JS libraries like AngularJS, jQuery, Node.js, etc. have made it possible for developers to develop interactive websites with performance improvement. Today the use of web is raised to such an extent that web has evolved from simple text content from one server to complex ecosystem with various types of contents spread across several administrative domains. This content makes the websites more complex and hence affects user experience. Till now efforts has been done to improve the performance at server side by increasing scalability of back-end or making the application more efficient. The performance of client side is not measured or just tested for usability. Some widely used JavaScript benchmark suites for measuring the performance of web browsers. The main focus of such a benchmark is not to measure the performance of a web application itself, but to measure its performance within a specific browser. There is wide variety of literature being available to measure the complexity of web pages and determining the load time. The aim behind our project is that to characterize the complexity of web pages built using different web development technologies like AngularJS, jQuery, AJAX (Client side web development technologies) so as to compare and analyze the usage of proper web development technique. In this paper we have used AngularJS as a case study to evaluate its performance against other frameworks like jQuery and AJAX.
