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.

Json locations
I'm using dual serialization for the heavily polymorphic data structures in my game - MessagePack with integer keys and union polymorphism for the wire format and local storage, and Json.NET with string keys and JsonKnownTypes polymorphism for debug output and long term persistence in RethinkDB. Here's what one of my simpler polymorphic data structures looks like. Lots of attributes but that's the price you pay I guess.

Fury: 170x faster than JDK, fast serialization powered by JIT and Zero-copy
Given it's a binary serialization framework, it should not be too difficult, because the domain is well-explored and numerous libraries exist in C# which address same goals that Fury does.
More popular/newer examples are https://github.com/Cysharp/MemoryPack (which is similar to Fury with its own spec, C#-code first schema), https://github.com/MessagePack-CSharp/MessagePack-CSharp or even gRPC / Protobuf tooling https://github.com/grpc/grpc-dotnet

Native AOT Overview
With Unity/IL2CPP stuff: For general-purpose serialization libraries like JSON, you sometimes need to provide hints to make sure types are included: https://github.com/jilleJr/Newtonsoft.Json-for-Unity/wiki/Fi...
For schema serialization on known types, there are codegen tools (i.e. moc for MessagePack): https://github.com/neuecc/MessagePack-CSharp
MessagePack is migrating to Rosalyn code generators, so basically invisible codegen. Cysharp's newer serialization library, MessagePack, already uses this: https://github.com/Cysharp/MemoryPack

Dupes in bonelab?
Thanks, I'm sure I'll need it, though I do have my own platform with serialization set up already that I'm hoping I can port relatively easily (It's backended with MessagePack C# which is a lovely serializer for Unity.)

Does MessagePack-CSharp support OneOf type?
In the Road map of features #119 for MessagePack-CSharp, they checked the box for:

Dotnet API super slow?
Try MessagePack for serialization. It will help to reduce the size of the message and the time of serialization.
- Need persistent data across runs of your Unity game? Don't use PlayerPrefs for your game state! Here's how you can easily store your arbitrary game state in files instead.

Practice resources for handling and optimizing large game data sets?
I mentioned JSON, but there are many formats that are much more efficient. I can mention FlatBuffers, MessagePack and ProtoBuf. These are the ones I've used myself, and personally I'm most comfortable with MessagePack and ProtoBuf. I don't think the performance would be an issue if you had to choose between these three, it's mostly the API that is different.
- any good binary serializers that are not assembly dependent
