Benchmarking Mustache libraries: native SynMustache vs mustache.js/SpiderMonkey

By AB4327-GANDI, 2014-05-07. Open Source › mORMot Framework

I just wrote a small sample program, for benchmarking Mustache libraries: native SynMustache vs mustache.js running on SpiderMonkey 24...

And the winner is ...SynMustache, which is 10 times faster, uses almost no memory during process, and handles inlined {{>partials}} natively (whereas we have to handle them manually with mustache.js)!

Who says that Garbage Collection and immutable strings in modern JITted runtimes are faster than "native" Delphi applications?
Are you still preferring the "NextGen" roadmap?

MongoDB + mORMot benchmark

By AB4327-GANDI, 2014-05-07. Open Source › mORMot Framework

Here are some benchmark charts about MongoDB integration in mORMot's ORM.

MongoDB appears as a serious competitor to SQL databases, with the potential benefit of horizontal scaling and installation/administration ease - performance is very high, and its document-based storage fits perfectly with mORMot's advanced ORM features like Shared nothing architecture (or sharding).

MongoDB + mORMot ORM = ODM

By AB4327-GANDI, 2014-05-07. Open Source › mORMot Framework

MongoDB (from "humongous") is a cross-platform document-oriented database system, and certainly the best known NoSQL database.
According to http://db-engines.com in April 2014, MongoDB is in 5th place of the most popular types of database management systems, and first place for NoSQL database management systems.
Our mORMot gives premium access to this database, featuring full NoSQL and Object-Document Mapping (ODM) abilities to the framework.

Integration is made at two levels:

Direct low-level access to the MongoDB server, in the SynMongoDB.pas unit;
Close integration with our ORM (which becomes defacto an ODM), in the mORMotMongoDB.pas unit.

MongoDB eschews the traditional table-based relational database structure in favor of JSON-like documents with dynamic schemas (MongoDB calls the format BSON), which matches perfectly mORMot's RESTful approach.

This second article will focus on integration of MongoDB with our ORM.

mORMot on GitHub

By AB4327-GANDI, 2014-05-02. Open Source › mORMot Framework

There was a long-standing request from customers, about putting all our source code repository to GitHub.

We like a lot our self-hosted Fossil repository, and will continue to use it as our main system, including issue tracking and wiki, for our official web site.

But we created a repository on GitHub, on https://github.com/synopse/mORMot

Mustache Logic-less templates for Delphi - part 3

By AB4327-GANDI, 2014-04-28. Open Source › Open Source libraries

Mustache is a well-known logic-less template engine.
There is plenty of Open Source implementations around (including in JavaScript, which can be very convenient for AJAX applications on client side, for instance).
For mORMot, we created the first pure Delphi implementation of it, with a perfect integration with other bricks of the framework.

In last part of this series of blog articles, we will introduce the Mustache library included within mORMot source code tree.
You can download this documentation as one single pdf file.
