JACODA data is more compact than JSON data on disk (sample dataset is 1.24 MB versus 1.86 MB), but the advantages in terms of bytes transfered (sample dataset is 318.71 kB versus 340.55 kB) are greatly diminished thanks to the gzip compression capabilities leveraged by most web servers and web browsers. Are there any remaining advantages in the speed of processing and rendering the data?
The goal of this page is to let you test that and decide for yourself. It will iteratively generate an HTML data table, place it on the page, and destroy it, tracking the time it takes to process and render the table each time. Note that each iteration took approximately 220 ms in my browser, so be prepared to wait if you pick large iteration numbers.
Caveat:
| Format | Tests | Total Time (ms) | Mean Time (ms) |
|---|---|---|---|
| JACODA | |||
| JSON |
