Benchmark: Regex Memory Consumption

Script Preparation code:

var acceptHeader = 'image/*, */*';
var mimes = ['image/avif', 'image/webp'];
var accepts = 'image/avif,image/webp,image/apng,image/svg+xml,image/*,*/*;q=0.8';

Tests:

Match
var regex = new RegExp(`(${mimes.join('|')})(,|;|$)`, 'i'); var match = accepts.match(regex); if (match){ acceptHeader = match[1]; }
Exec
var regex = new RegExp(`(${mimes.join('|')})(?=,|;|$)`, 'i'); var match = regex.exec(accepts); if (match){ acceptHeader = match[0]; }
Exec Non-Capturing
var regex = new RegExp(`(?:${mimes.join('|')})(?=,|;|$)`, 'i'); var match = regex.exec(accepts); if (match){ acceptHeader = match[0]; }
Match non capturing
var regex = new RegExp(`(?:${mimes.join('|')})(?=,|;|$)`, 'i'); var match = accepts.match(regex); if (match){ acceptHeader = match[0]; }
