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.

Why the fuck are we templating YAML? (2019)
HJson https://hjson.github.io seems a nice 'in-between' between YAML and JSON without the indentation-based syntax, so closer to the JSON side but with comments and less quotes.
What I don't really get is why the cloud providers / tooling implementors have never drafted up a "YAML-light" that just throws out the rarely-used headache-inducing syntax elements.
-
That's a Lot of YAML
Hjson is very similar to JSON5 but allows quotes to be dropped and can use newlines instead of commas. There are implementations for a lot of different languages, I myself contributed the C++ implementation. I wanted something smaller than Yaml but more lax than JSON, found Hjson to suit my needs perfectly.

The real reason JSON has no comments
JSONs make terrible config files. If you want to use json-like syntax for config, use hjson instead. It's basically json, but changes it slightly so it better matches human expectations.

The YAML Document from Hell
```
YAML and JSON succeeded because they had a clean and predictable, no-nonsense mapping between encoding and object-model after decoding. Probably we should all switch to an almost-yaml format that does away with the peculiarities, and the FANG companies would have the momentum to make that happen.
I personally would like for HJSON (https://hjson.github.io) to see more adoption, but that train has passed...
-
Why?
There’s also json-c and Hjson.

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.
