What are JMH comparison tools and how do they work?

JMH, or Java Microbenchmark Harness, is a tool for benchmarking Java code. It helps in measuring the performance of code snippets accurately.

Can you explain how to set up JMH for my project?

To set up JMH, you need to add the JMH dependency to your project, typically in your Maven or Gradle build file. Then, create a benchmark class with methods annotated with @Benchmark.

What are some common pitfalls when using JMH?

Common pitfalls include not using the correct JVM options, failing to warm up the JVM, and not isolating benchmarks properly to avoid interference.

How can I interpret the results from JMH?

JMH provides detailed output including throughput, average time, and sample size. You can analyze these metrics to understand performance characteristics.
