PerformanceMeasure

PerformanceMeasure is an abstract interface for PerformanceEntry objects with an entryType of "measure". Entries of this type are created by calling performance.measure() to add a named DOMHighResTimeStamp (the measure) between two marks to the browser's performance timeline.

This interface defines:

PerformanceMeasure.detail

Contains arbitrary metadata about the measure. This may be passed in as a property of the performance.measure() argument MeasureOptions.

In addition, it extends the following PerformanceEntry properties by qualifying/constraining the properties as follows:

PerformanceEntry.entryType

Returns "measure".

PerformanceEntry.name

Returns the name given to the measure when it was created via a call to performance.measure().

PerformanceEntry.startTime

Returns a timestamp given to the measure when performance.measure() was called.

PerformanceEntry.duration

Returns a DOMHighResTimeStamp that is the duration of the measure (typically, the measure's end mark timestamp minus its start mark timestamp).

This interface has no methods.
