catalog-web-frameworks

Web framework implementations measured by BenchCommons: 407 frameworks in 41 languages, with 965 test variants.

Layout

One folder per language, one folder per framework, the same way catalog-ssg is laid out:

<Language>/<framework>/
├── benchmark_config.json      # authoritative metadata: tests (variants), test URLs, port, database, approach…
├── <framework>.dockerfile      # image for the "default" variant
├── <framework>-<variant>.dockerfile
└── … source of the implementation

benchmark_config.json is the source of truth. config.toml, present in most upstream folders, is kept but not authoritative. Implementations follow the catalog contract owned by tools-benchmark (spec 010, tools-benchmark#29).

Test types

Rolled out in stages (spec 001):

1. A: json and plaintext, with no database.
2. B: db, queries, fortunes and updates, with a pinned dataset-* database.
3. C: cached-queries.
