touchsocket benchmarks

See touchsocket for more information.

Variants Included

• touchsocket.webapi (TouchSocketWebApi) – WebApi style.
• touchsocket.webapi31 (TouchSocketWebApi31) – WebApi targeting .NET 8.
• touchsocket.http (TouchSocketHttp) – Minimal HTTP implementation.
• touchsocket.http31 (TouchSocketHttp31) – Minimal HTTP targeting .NET 8.
• touchsocket.httpplatform (TouchSocketHttpPlatform) – High-performance custom pipeline-based HTTP server focusing on low-level parsing and zero-allocation response writing.

Infrastructure Software Versions

Language / Runtime

• C# / .NET (8.0 & 9.0 depending on variant)

Endpoints

All variants implement:

• /plaintext – Returns a plain text "Hello, World!" response.
• /json – Returns a JSON object {"message": "Hello, World!"}.

The httpplatform variant manually parses request lines and headers via System.IO.Pipelines for maximum throughput.

Dockerfiles

Each variant has a dedicated Dockerfile named:

• touchsocket.dockerfile (webapi)
• touchsocket-webapi31.dockerfile
• touchsocket-http.dockerfile
• touchsocket-http31.dockerfile
• touchsocket-httpplatform.dockerfile

Notes

The httpplatform variant is intended for benchmarking raw server performance. It omits higher-level abstractions to reduce overhead.
