Speed comparison of PHP source formatters

Formatting open source projects

Various open source projects are formatted with common settings.

Each repository is checked out --hard once before the benchmark is run. .php_cs and .php_cs_cache files are removed to make php-cs-fixer comparable with other formatters.

You can see the command arguments by clicking on the method.

Versions used:

phormat 0.1.1
php-cs-fixer 1.11.2
phpfmt 19.6.5

Explanation of results

Results are measured in operations per duration.

Operations can have suffixes like K = 1000 or M = 1,000,000.

Durations are normalized so that the highest magnitude is used.

The method score is based on the average. The fastest method always has a base score of 1x and other methods are compared to it. For example a score of 3x means it's 3 times slower than the fastest method.

You can show or hide the source code of any method by clicking on the method name.
