The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

enum_name (yet another enum to/from string conversion utility >=C++11)
On the topic of this kind of hackflection willwray/enum_traits uses an interesting trick where they improve buildtime performance by doing the __PRETTY_FUNCTION__/__FUNCSIG__/std::source_location::current().function_name() inside a variadic templated function to do the name conversion for a batch of integers at the same time to make it less expensive (compiletime) to test a large range of numbers.

What C++ library do you wish existed but hasn’t been created yet?
I'm not sure this is quite what you're asking for, but this library has been super helpful to me in the past : https://github.com/Neargye/magic_enum
- Usable Magic Enums for C++
-
Fully Permissive License C++ Logger For Embedded System
Also, a shoutout to Magic Enum: https://github.com/Neargye/magic_enum
- Favorite Ways of Stringifying Enums
-
enum_name (yet another enum to/from string conversion utility >=C++11)
What does this have to offer over magic_enum?
-
quill v2.7.0 released - Asynchronous Low Latency C++ Logging Library
But it's a hack, and I prefer not to use hacks in production, because of their significant limitations:
-
Enums print numbers instead of words
You can either write a to string(view) function for your enum or use https://github.com/Neargye/magic_enum
-
Enums with methods
Why reinvent the wheel? magic_enum
-
Error: Boost bimap can't convert const CompatibleKey to Key&
Also if you want to convert enum members to string representation I suggest you just use magic_enum instead, much smaller dependency.
-
Macro to write enum and converter from and to string
Magic Enum provides that.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing enum_traits and Magic Enum C++ you can also consider the following projects:
wise_enum - A reflective enum implementation for C++
Nameof C++ - Nameof operator for modern C++, simply obtain the name of a variable, type, function, macro, and enum
Better Enums - C++ compile-time enum to string, iteration, in a single header file
Protobuf - Protocol Buffers - Google's data interchange format
enum_reflect - A demo repo for enum_traits
cereal - A C++11 library for serialization
enum_name - Converting (scoped)enum values to string names written in C++>=11.
FlatBuffers - FlatBuffers: Memory Efficient Serialization Library
Boost.Serialization - Boost.org serialization module
pfr - std::tuple like methods for user defined types without any macro or boilerplate code
protozero - Minimalist protocol buffer decoder and encoder in C++
