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.

I'm fed up with it, so I'm writing a browser
Would you consider using some libraries in your project? There are lots of good ones in the Rust ecosystem, and many of them are not part of any existing browsers.
For example:
- https://github.com/servo/html5ever (HTML parsing - note: this is used in Servo)
- https://github.com/parcel-bundler/lightningcss (CSS parsing)
- https://github.com/DioxusLabs/taffy (web layout)
- https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-text (text layout and rendering)
Obviously you should be free to work on whatever you like, but just as a benchmark on the scope of your project: I spent ~6 months implementing just the CSS Grid algorithm in Taffy last year. An entire browser from literal scratch is probably a 10 year project for one person.

Ask HN: A fast, Rust HTML parser that works?
So I'm doing some web scraping in Rust, and so I will need to parse HTML. [scraper](https://docs.rs/scraper/latest/scraper/) (which uses [html5ever](https://github.com/servo/html5ever)) is doing fine except that it's the bottleneck of my application.
So I need a faster parser. I've tried [tl](https://docs.rs/tl/latest/tl/) which would've been perfect except that it doesn't actually work on the HTML I have. When I try to `query_selector` the elements I need, it returns nothing.
[Kuchiki](https://docs.rs/kuchiki/latest/kuchiki/) is abandonded.
I couldn't figure out how to get [lol-html](https://github.com/cloudflare/lol-html) to work for me (it's designed for re-writing HTML, whatever that means). It doesn't seem to have an API to extract the inner text of an element.
[html5gum](https://github.com/untitaker/html5gum) seems to be just an HTML tokenizer, or otherwise just too low-level. I have not yet tried [quick-xml](https://github.com/tafia/quick-xml/) but judging from the README, it's pretty low-level too. I mean, if these are the only options left then I will try them. Otherwise, I would love to use a parser that's faster but as ergonomic as `scraper` or `tl`.
At this point, I would be happy with an Lxml bridge/port of some sort. I don't need to mutate HTML, just parse and read data from it.
- Any HTML parsing resources without going straight to W3C?
- I’m developing rust module like google pagespeed nginx module, which will rewrite html for each request it received for dynamic optimisation. what library is fastest to do this? I’m using this now

What is the best way to parse HTML tags?
See https://github.com/servo/html5ever/tree/master/rcdom for an example implementation to imitate.

What are the scenarios where "Rewrite it in Rust" didn't meet your expectations or couldn't be successfully implemented?
Exactly the same experience. In particular I ran into the issue that the only "ergonomic" API (that doesn't require hand-writing a parser) uses serde derive macros, but quick_xml doesn't handle namespaces. After about a day of this I stopped bike-shedding and just used lxml in Python. It works fine (and I have a large XML file, ~2.4Gb).

Hey Rustaceans! Got an easy question? Ask here (41/2021)!
This is not directly rust related, but I wanted to create some Excel document generator (and reader) library and was wondering if there are good resources available. In my limited research I tinkered with creating small documents, extracting their contents and looking at the xml inside. I‘m able to generate the same xmls using quick-xml.
What are some alternatives?
rust-htmlescape - A HTML entity encoding library for Rust
xml-rs - An XML library in Rust
serde - Serialization framework for Rust
crates.io-index - Registry index for crates.io
byteorder - Rust library for reading/writing numbers in big-endian and little-endian.
serde-gura - Strongly typed Gura library for Rust
retrokit - :joystick: Bring back the old Web(Kit) and make it secure
roxmltree - Represent an XML document as a read-only tree.
bincode - A binary encoder / decoder implementation in Rust.
vtkio - Visualization ToolKit (VTK) file parser and writer
tersenet - A new type of JavaScript-free light-weight fast browser built on rst and web assembly. Does not actually exist.
tonic-example - Minimal example of using Tonic for client/server gRPC
