It takes too much time when using "template" package to generate a dynamic web page to client in Golang
Solution 1:
You should not parse templates every time you serve a request!
There is a significant time delay to read a file, parse its content and build the template. Also since templates do not change (varying parts should be parameters!) you only have to read and parse a template once.
Also parsing and creating the template each time when serving a request generates lots of values in memory which are then thrown away (because they are not reused) giving additional work for the garbage collector.
Parse the templates when your application starts, store it in a variable, and you only have to execute the template when a request comes in. For example:
var t *template.Template
func init() {
filename := NiConfig.webpath + "/test.html"
t = template.Must(template.ParseFiles(filename))
http.HandleFunc("/test", TestHandler)
}
func TestHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
Log.Info("Entering TestHandler ...")
// Template is ready, just Execute it
if err := t.Execute(w, nil); err != nil {
log.Printf("Failed to execute template: %v", err)
}
}
