Description
Summary:This paper presents a performance comparison of five popular REST API frameworks: ASP.NET, Spring Boot, Express.js, Laravel and Django REST Framework. The analysis took into account response times, resource consumption, Docker image sizes and code complexity. ASP.NET showed the shortest response times and smallest images, Express.js stood out for its stable resource management, while Django and Laravel, although less efficient, featured by compact code. Spring Boot, on the other hand, showed similar, though slightly worse, efficiency compared to ASP.NET. The results underscore the importance of matching the platform to specific project requirements.
