Test of speed of DI Containers
Attempting to test the speed of various Dependency Injection Containers.
See the results of my tests here: http://philipm.at/2011/0808/
.Net Containers:
- Autofac
- Castle.Windsor
- ninject
- Spring.Net
- StructureMap
- Unity
This repository contains various branches dedicated to multiple DI usage scenarios in an attempt to provide a comprehensive landscape for measurements. Don't rely on the master branch maintaining a specific topic, it might change its content. Instead look at those branches for the specific scenarios that might be of interest to you. The only thing I can somewhat promise is that the master branch will have the most up-to-date spreadsheet with my results.
- with_isregistered: checks that the object is registered with the container before requesting it. This causes some abysmal performance in Unity.
- without_isregistered: requests the object without performing the
registration check. Has the potential to yield either
NullReferenceExceptions or container specific registration exceptions. - ex_vs_isreg: compares the speed difference between using
IsRegisteredand handling specific registration exceptions. Spoiler: don't use exceptions. - ex_vs_isreg_vs_opt: Unity provides an alternate way to deal with
objects not being registered,
OptionalDependencyAttribute. This branch, a bit badly named, attempt to look at how this attribute performs.
