+
+The `node:benchmark` module gives the ability to measure
+performance of JavaScript code. To access it:
+
+```mjs
+import benchmark from 'node:benchmark';
+```
+
+```cjs
+const benchmark = require('node:benchmark');
+```
+
+This module is only available under the `node:` scheme. The following will not
+work:
+
+```mjs
+import benchmark from 'benchmark';
+```
+
+```cjs
+const benchmark = require('benchmark');
+```
+
+The following example illustrates how benchmarks are written using the
+`benchmark` module.
+
+```mjs
+import { Suite } from 'node:benchmark';
+
+const suite = new Suite();
+
+suite.add('Using delete to remove property from object', function() {
+  const data = { x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 };
+  delete data.y;
+
+  data.x;
+  data.y;
+  data.z;
+});
+
+suite.run();
+```
+
+```cjs
+const { Suite } = require('node:benchmark');
+
+const suite = new Suite();
+
+suite.add('Using delete to remove property from object', function() {
+  const data = { x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 };
+  delete data.y;
+
+  data.x;
+  data.y;
+  data.z;
+});
+
+suite.run();
+```
+
+```console

+## Class: `Suite`
+
+> Stability: 1.1 Active Development
+
+<!-- YAML
+added: REPLACEME
+-->
+
+An `Suite` is responsible for managing and executing
+benchmark functions. It provides two methods: `add()` and `run()`.
+
+### `new Suite([options])`
+
+<!-- YAML
+added: REPLACEME
+-->
+
+* `options` {Object} Configuration options for the suite. The following
+  properties are supported:
+  * `reporter` {Function} Callback function with results to be called after
+    benchmark is concluded. The callback function should receive two arguments:
+    `suite` - A {Suite} object and
+    `result` - A object containing three properties:
+    `opsSec` {string}, `iterations {Number}`, `histogram` {Histogram} instance.
+
+If no `reporter` is provided, the results will printed to the console.
+
+```mjs
+import { Suite } from 'node:benchmark';
+const suite = new Suite();
+```
+
+```cjs
+const { Suite } = require('node:benchmark');
+const suite = new Suite();
+```
+
+### `suite.add(name[, options], fn)`
+
+<!-- YAML
+added: REPLACEME
+-->
+
+* `name` {string} The name of the benchmark, which is displayed when reporting
+  benchmark results.
+* `options` {Object} Configuration options for the benchmark. The following
+  properties are supported:
+  * `minTime` {number} The minimum time a benchmark can run.
+    **Default:** `0.05` seconds.
+  * `maxTime` {number} The maximum time a benchmark can run.
+    **Default:** `0.5` seconds.
+* `fn` {Function|AsyncFunction}
+* Returns: {Suite}
+
+This method stores the benchmark of a given function (`fn`).
+The `fn` parameter can be either an asynchronous (`async function () {}`) or
+a synchronous (`function () {}`) function.
+
+```console
+$ node my-benchmark.js
+(node:14165) ExperimentalWarning: The benchmark module is an experimental feature and might change at any time
+(Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)
+Using delete property x 5,853,505 ops/sec ± 0.01% (10 runs sampled)     min..max=(169ns ... 171ns) p75=170ns p99=171ns
+```
+
+### `suite.run()`
+
+* Returns: `{Promise<Array<Object>>}`
+  * `opsSec` {number} The amount of operations per second
+  * `iterations` {number} The amount executions of `fn`
+  * `histogram` {Histogram} Histogram object used to record benchmark iterations
+
+<!-- YAML
+added: REPLACEME
+-->
+
+The purpose of the run method is to run all the benchmarks that have been
+added to the suite using the [`suite.add()`][] function.
+By calling the run method, you can easily trigger the execution of all
+the stored benchmarks and obtain the corresponding results.
+
+### Using custom reporter
+
+You can customize the data reporting by passing an function to the `reporter` argument while creating your `Suite`:
+
+```mjs
+import { Suite } from 'node:benchmark';
+
+function reporter(bench, result) {
+  console.log(`Benchmark: ${bench.name} - ${result.opsSec} ops/sec`);
+}
+
+const suite = new Suite({ reporter });
+
+suite.add('Using delete to remove property from object', () => {
+  const data = { x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 };
+  delete data.y;
+
+  data.x;
+  data.y;
+  data.z;
+});
+
+suite.run();
+```
+
+```cjs
+const { Suite } = require('node:benchmark');
+
+function reporter(bench, result) {
+  console.log(`Benchmark: ${bench.name} - ${result.opsSec} ops/sec`);
+}
+
+const suite = new Suite({ reporter });
+
+suite.add('Using delete to remove property from object', () => {
+  const data = { x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 };
+  delete data.y;
+
+  data.x;
+  data.y;
+  data.z;
+});
+
+suite.run();
+```
+
+```console
+$ node my-benchmark.js
+Benchmark: Using delete to remove property from object - 6032212 ops/sec
+```
+
+### Setup and Teardown
+
+The benchmark function has a special handling when you pass an argument,
+for example:
+
+```cjs
+const { Suite } = require('node:benchmark');
+const { readFileSync, writeFileSync, rmSync } = require('node:fs');
+
+const suite = new Suite();
+
+suite.add('readFileSync', (timer) => {
+  const randomFile = Date.now();
+  const filePath = `./${randomFile}.txt`;
+  writeFileSync(filePath, Math.random().toString());
+
+  timer.start();
+  readFileSync(filePath, 'utf8');
+  timer.end();
+
+  rmSync(filePath);
+}).run();
+```
+
+In this way, you can control when the `timer` will start
+and also when the `timer` will stop.
+
+In the timer, we also give you a property `count`
+that will tell you how much iterations
+you should run your function to achieve the `benchmark.minTime`,
+see the following example:
+
+```mjs
+import { Suite } from 'node:benchmark';
+import { readFileSync, writeFileSync, rmSync } from 'node:fs';
+
+const suite = new Suite();
+
+suite.add('readFileSync', (timer) => {
+  const randomFile = Date.now();
+  const filePath = `./${randomFile}.txt`;
+  writeFileSync(filePath, Math.random().toString());
+
+  timer.start();
+  for (let i = 0; i < timer.count; i++)
+    readFileSync(filePath, 'utf8');
+  // You must send to the `.end` function the amount of
+  // times you executed the function, by default,
+  // the end will be called with value 1.
+  timer.end(timer.count);
+
+  rmSync(filePath);
+});
+
+suite.run();
+```
+
+```cjs
+const { Suite } = require('node:benchmark');
+const { readFileSync, writeFileSync, rmSync } = require('node:fs');
+
+const suite = new Suite();
+
+suite.add('readFileSync', (timer) => {
+  const randomFile = Date.now();
+  const filePath = `./${randomFile}.txt`;
+  writeFileSync(filePath, Math.random().toString());
+
+  timer.start();
+  for (let i = 0; i < timer.count; i++)
+    readFileSync(filePath, 'utf8');
+  // You must send to the `.end` function the amount of
+  // times you executed the function, by default,
+  // the end will be called with value 1.
+  timer.end(timer.count);
+
+  rmSync(filePath);
+});
+
+suite.run();
+```
+
+Once your function has at least one argument,
+you must call `.start` and `.end`, if you didn't,
+it will throw the error [ERR\_BENCHMARK\_MISSING\_OPERATION](./errors.md#err_benchmark_missing_operation).
