Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

jq 1.7 Released
Another great alternative is JSONPath[1] which unfortunately not as widely supported and known despite being brilliant!
It's inspired by XPath so it's very familiar instead of a complete new DSL. The killer feature imo is the recursive key lookup so you can write `people..address` and it'll find all "address" keys that descend from "people" anywhere in the JSON. It's by far my favorite parsing language for JSON and I wrote an introduction blog on how to use it in JSON dataset parsing [2] :)

The yaml document from hell
I used the official reference implementation to make a CLI converter between NestedText and TOML, JSON, and YAML. When generating one of these formats, you can use yamlpath queries to concisely but explicitly apply supported types to data elements.

The YAML Document from Hell
I'm a huge fan of NestedText, especially as there is no escaping needed ever.
If you ever want to use it as a pre-format to generate either TOML, JSON, or YAML, I used the official reference implementation to make a CLI converter between them and NestedText.
When generating one of these formats, you can use yamlpath queries to concisely but explicitly apply supported types to data elements.

Replace Specific Lines in a JSON file
Not what you're asking, but if you wanted to do this with yamlpath:
-
jq help: is it possible to replace a key-value in one json file using the data from another json file?
You may want to take a look at yamlpath for this. If I remember when I'm at a computer I'll try to post more.
