lilprince1218on The framework built by a father in 2006 dominated the internet

Real legend

ok ill try that

lilprince1218on PrinceJS: Benchmark Corrections and Lessons from a 13-Year-Old Developer

After my original post, the Hacker News community helped me identify critical issues with my benchmarking approach. Here's what I learned:

The Problem:

I used autocannon for benchmarking, which can't handle Bun.serve speeds (as pointed out by Elysia's maintainer)

Made exaggerated performance claims

Had security vulnerabilities in JWT implementation

The Fix:

Switched to oha for accurate benchmarks: 21,748 req/s (placing PrinceJS among top 3 Bun frameworks)

Fixed all security issues

Removed "fastest" claims, now positioning honestly as competitive

Technical Details:

Real oha results: Elysia (25,312), Hono (22,124), PrinceJS (21,748), Express (9,325)

Running on Windows 10 with: oha -c 100 -z 30s

Next step: Cloud VM testing for consistent, reproducible benchmarks

The framework is now more honest about its capabilities while still delivering competitive performance. Lesson learned: accuracy and security matter more than impressive numbers.

Try it: bun add princejs

and im totally fair. I mean its not me that decide what the computer outputs sometimes when i run my code, mine is even bulkier than them

lilprince1218on Show HN: PrinceJS – 19,200 req/s Bun framework in 2.8 kB (built by a 13yo)

well i am still adding features. And thanks also

yh. only when im in school though. But not everyone gets me

lilprince1218on Show HN: PrinceJS – 19,200 req/s Bun framework in 2.8 kB (built by a 13yo)

probably

lilprince1218on Show HN: PrinceJS – 19,200 req/s Bun framework in 2.8 kB (built by a 13yo)

You asked. We delivered.

Next: tests + security fixes + reproducible benchmarks.

Thank you for making PrinceJS better.

Ok thanks. The ai is missing cause I couldn't fully implement it and I didn't want it half baked so I just took it out.

lilprince1218on Show HN: PrinceJS – 19,200 req/s Bun framework in 2.8 kB (built by a 13yo)

Ok. Thanks you
