yaml test

[arroyo]

. I want to get some stats on parsing yaml vs json. I want to see what the performance is between the two.

*create a folder called yaml inside the repo and use this for all the code for the performance test, https://github.com/Erdiko/performance-tests

• use this image for the php-fpm container (erdiko/php-fpm:latest). You can grab the docker scripts from erdiko. The image has yaml 2 support.
• create a simple class to read a json file (can steal the one from erdiko 2 or create your own)
• create a simple class to read a yaml file
• create a yaml and a json file with 10 lines each
• create a script that reads a json file 1000 times. Be sure to time how long it takes using microtime()
• create a script that reads a yaml file 1000 times. Time it same as above.
• log the results in a readme file.
• Try again but with larger files (100 lines)

It’s best not to use the erdiko framework here. Just use raw php so we get a better sense of how long it takes to read and decode json/yaml files. I want to support yaml in erdiko 2 but I’m not sure if there will be a performance penalty.

@pinedamg can you add the results from when you ran the test? Just add a folder for results so we can look at it without running the scripts.

Also this experiment has 10 lines, can you add results for files that have 100 lines too? Curious how the performance changes with larger files
