Benchmark: Javascript RegEx Replace x ReplaceAll

Script Preparation code:

cnpj = "12345678901234";

Tests:

Replace
function replacer(match, p1, p2, p3, p4, p5) { let result = ''; result += p1 !== undefined ? p1 : ''; result += p2 !== undefined ? '.' + p2 : ''; result += p3 !== undefined ? '.' + p3 : ''; result += p4 !== undefined ? '/' + p4 : ''; result += p5 !== undefined ? '-' + p5 : ''; return result; } return cnpj.replace(/(\d{2})(\d{1,3})?(\d{1,3})?(\d{1,4})?(\d{1,2})?/, replacer);
ReplaceAll
cnpj.replaceAll(/(\d{2})(\d{1,3})?(\d{1,3})?(\d{1,4})?(\d{1,2})?/g, "$1.$2.$3/$4-$5");

Let's break down the benchmark and its test cases.

**Benchmark Overview**

The benchmark measures the performance of two different regular expression (Regex) replacement approaches in JavaScript: `replace()` with a custom callback function and `replaceAll()` (also known as `replaceAll()`) with a string template.

**Script Preparation Code**

The script preparation code is used to define a variable `cnpj` containing a fixed value, which will be used as the input string for the benchmark. The purpose of this code is to create a consistent testing scenario.

**Html Preparation Code**

There is no HTML preparation code provided, so we'll assume that the benchmark is focused solely on JavaScript performance.

**Test Cases**

The benchmark consists of two test cases:

1. **"Replace"`**
	* Benchmark Definition: This code defines a custom callback function `replacer` that takes six arguments (`match`, `p1`, `p2`, `p3`, `p4`, and `p5`) and returns a string by concatenating the values of these arguments.
	* The benchmark uses the `replace()` method to replace all occurrences of a specific Regex pattern in the `cnpj` variable. The Regex pattern is `/\\d{2}(\\d{1,3})?(\\d{1,3})?(\\d{1,4})?(\\d{1,2})?/`.
	* The purpose of this test case is to evaluate the performance of using a custom callback function with `replace()`.
2. **"ReplaceAll"`**
	* Benchmark Definition: This code uses the `replaceAll()` method (also known as `replaceAll()`) to replace all occurrences of the same Regex pattern in the `cnpj` variable.
	* The purpose of this test case is to evaluate the performance of using a string template with `replaceAll()`.

**Options Compared**

The benchmark compares two different approaches:

1. **Custom Callback Function**: Using a custom callback function with `replace()`.
2. **String Template**: Using a string template with `replaceAll()`.

**Pros and Cons**

Here are some pros and cons of each approach:

* **Custom Callback Function (Replace)**:
	+ Pros: Can provide more flexibility in terms of the replacement logic.
	+ Cons: May be slower due to the overhead of executing a custom callback function for each match.
* **String Template (ReplaceAll)**:
	+ Pros: Typically faster than using a custom callback function, as it can take advantage of the browser's optimization algorithms.
	+ Cons: Limited flexibility in terms of the replacement logic.

**Library and Syntax**

There is no specific library mentioned in the benchmark code. However, both `replace()` and `replaceAll()` are built-in methods in JavaScript.

No special JavaScript features or syntax are used in this benchmark.
