# Nostr Library Comparison Benchmarks
This module contains benchmarks comparing `code.northwest.io/nostr` with other popular Go Nostr libraries:
- **NWIO** (`code.northwest.io/nostr`) - This library
- **NBD** (`github.com/nbd-wtf/go-nostr`) - Popular community library
- **Fiat** (`fiatjaf.com/nostr`) - Original implementation by Fiatjaf
## Why a Separate Module?
The comparison libraries are isolated in this separate Go module to keep the main `code.northwest.io/nostr` package clean. Users who import the main package won't have `fiatjaf.com/nostr` or `github.com/nbd-wtf/go-nostr` pulled into their dependency tree.
## Running Benchmarks
From this directory:
```bash
# Run all comparison benchmarks
go test -bench=. -benchmem
# Run specific benchmarks
go test -bench=BenchmarkEventSign -benchmem
# Compare NWIO vs NBD
go test -bench='.*_(NWIO|NBD)' -benchmem
```
From the project root:
```bash
cd benchmarks/comparison
go test -bench=. -benchmem
```
## Benchmark Categories
- **Event Unmarshaling/Marshaling**: JSON parsing and serialization
- **Event Serialization**: Canonical serialization for ID computation
- **Event ID Computation**: Computing event ID hashes
- **Key Generation**: Generating new private keys
- **Event Signing/Verification**: Cryptographic operations
- **Filter Matching**: Simple and complex filter matching
See [../../BENCHMARKS.md](../../BENCHMARKS.md) for detailed documentation.
