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.

Ntex: Powerful, pragmatic, fast framework for composable networking services
I can't speak to the "is it any good" part, but (after a bit of research) I can share what I've found. I'll try to represent things as best as I understand, but I may have some finer details mixed up.
ntex is written by the same person that started actix-web, Nikolay Kim (fafhrd91 on GitHub). There was a bunch of drama a while back due to actix-web using (what many reasoned to be) avoidable unsafe code, which was later found to be buggy. Nikolay was pilloried online, resulting in him transferring leadership of actix-web to someone else. ntex is, as I understand it, essentially Nikolay picking back up on his ideals for what could have been actix-web, if people hadn't pushed him out of his own project.
How ntex compares to the pre-/post-leadership change of actix-web, I don't know.
Here are some jumping points if you want more of the backstory.

Building a REST API for Math Operations (+, *, /) with Rust, Actix, and Rhai🦀
Are you ready to embark on another journey in Rust? Today, we'll explore how to create a REST API that performs basic mathematical operations: addition, multiplication, and division. We'll use Actix, a powerful web framework for Rust, together with Rhai, a lightweight scripting language, to achieve our goal.

Getting Started with Actix Web - The Battle-tested Rust Framework
Within actix-web, middleware is used as a medium for being able to add general functionality to a (set of) route(s) by taking the request before the handler function runs, carrying out some operations, running the actual handler function itself and then the middleware does additional processing (if required). By default, actix-web has several default middlewares that we can use, including logging, path normalisation, access external services and modifying application state (through the ServiceRequest type).

Building a Rust app with Perseus
Rust is a popular system programming language, known for its robust memory safety features and exceptional performance. While Rust was originally a system programming language, its application has evolved. Now you can see Rust in different app platforms, mobile apps, and of course, in web apps — both in the frontend and backend, with frameworks like Rocket, Axum, and Actix making it even easier to build web applications with Rust.

Top Rust Web Frameworks: Rocket, Actix-web, Tide, Warp, and Gotham
The actor-based web framework in Rust, Actix-web, is a game changer for developers looking for high-performance and scalable web applications. Actix-web's exceptional performance and concurrency capabilities enable developers to create robust and efficient web solutions. The framework's asynchronous request handling and non-blocking I/O provide impressive levels of concurrency, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic and demanding workload projects. Actix-web includes a plethora of features, such as middleware support and WebSocket integration, that allow developers to create cutting-edge web applications in Rust.

What is the current ideal choice for server-side rendered web frameworks?
I used [actix-web](https://actix.rs/) + [liquid](https://lib.rs/crates/liquid) exactly because I wanted to create a website that works with JS disabled (You may look at the ball of mud I made [here](https://github.com/magackame/neor)).

Write OpenAPI with TypeSpec
TypeSpec is great, but if you're working with Rust and you're about to write a new project that will require an OpenApi spec sooner or later, I'd like to recommend a web framework that has spec generation baked in:
https://github.com/poem-web/poem (see poem_openapi)
All you need to do is derive a trait on your response structs and in return you get an almost perfectly generated spec. Unions, objects, enums are first class citizens.
Also, if you're from coming from PHP, the controllers feel very much like symfony controllers.
P.s. Please do recommend an ORM that would feel closer to doctrine. I miss doctrine.

What is the best API generator for Axum?
I've used FastAPI/Pydantic before as well and it was a very good experience. It has been a while since I used them though, so I forget exactly how they compare, but I do recall it wrote most of the OpenAPI spec. for you. I will also agree when I saw utoipa and aide they seemed to require more boilerplate even though I have not done an actual comparison. Poem, on the other hand, seems very neat and clean and doesn't have any duplication that I can see. Here is the [TODO example](https://github.com/poem-web/poem/blob/master/examples/openapi/todos/src/main.rs).

Rest API framework in rust
If you need built-in OpenAPI support, I can recommend Poem.

(Recommendation Request) Rust REST API framework; similar to Python's FastAPI(Python)
If OpenAPI is important, then you may to consider https://github.com/poem-web/poem instead of axum. It isn't nearly as widely used, but it should still be compatible with everything else.

Migrating from warp to axum
I recently been working with warp and stumbled upon poem framework (https://github.com/poem-web/poem), any thoughts about that? Considering Axum as well but staying a bit on cautionary side until 0.6 full release.

Any Rust based forum software?
If one were to undertake a project of developing something like this, which is the best web framework for it. I did some cursory research and discovered these back-end frameworks - actix, axum, poem, salvo, warp, gotham and rocket.
What are some alternatives?
axum - Ergonomic and modular web framework built with Tokio, Tower, and Hyper
Rocket - A web framework for Rust.
Tide - Fast and friendly HTTP server framework for async Rust
tonic - A native gRPC client & server implementation with async/await support.
hyper - An HTTP library for Rust
salvo - A powerful web framework built with a simplified design.
tokio - A runtime for writing reliable asynchronous applications with Rust. Provides I/O, networking, scheduling, timers, ...
Gotham - A flexible web framework that promotes stability, safety, security and speed.
warp - A super-easy, composable, web server framework for warp speeds.
Iron - An Extensible, Concurrent Web Framework for Rust
Nickel - An expressjs inspired web framework for Rust
