Сравнение PHP и NodeJS
Нашел интересную табличку по сравнению PHP и NodeJS для применения в веб-разработке.
Comparison (good, bad, solution)
| Apache, PHP | node.js | |
| syntax | Additional language to web standard ECMA script try to use common structures | One language to rule them all = reuse parts of your framework on the client side |
| strings | ‘line line’ | ‘line\nline’ or “line\n\ line” |
| templates | <code><?php // code ?></code> | var s = ‘<code>’; // code s += ‘</code>’; // send response http://github.com/creationix/microtemplates |
| database interface | PDO + prepared Statements (includes class instance support) | Still no prepared statements, 1.5 – 3x slower Driver update |
| performance | faster | |
| unicode | PCRE | no Unicode Character Properties / Scripts / Blocks in RegExp (only \w, \W consider Unicode whitespace) add chars manually to regexp |
| order | no namespaces up to 5.3 | simple modules / namespaces |
| serving files | Apache serves static files | Overhead to serve static files Use additional webserver (nginx) or included in web framework |
| access | Only synchronous access … but easier code | Asynchronous access via closures … highly nested code http://github.com/creationix/step |
| OOP | implicit memoization via __get() and reuse of requested key | getters (/setters) must access key with other name, bad for iteration or JSON notation |
| platform | many reliable extensions | many extensions still experimental … but the community is dynamic |
| PostGIS/Postgres | MongoDB | CouchDB | |
| GIS functionality | rich | just stuff based on points | few |
| stable | yes | yes | probably |
| GIS standards | full OpenGIS support (except for GeomColl in relational functions, workaround functions) | no OpenGIS at all, just points | full excepting for GeomColl |
| GIS indexing | no GeomColl index single geoms | yes | yes |
| GIS performance | fast |
Отсюда можно сделать вывод, что некоторые высоконагруженные части проекта можно переписать на NodeJS, а лучше всего на C++ и подключить как модуль nodeJS. Пример сишной библиотеки написанной для нод, это HashLib.
