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.

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

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 cool modern libraries you enjoy using?
I love: https://github.com/boost-ext/di for dependency injection

Dependency injection
I was looking to try boost.di for some time, looks nice. https://boost-ext.github.io/di/

Architecture of a Qt application
Things like Dependency Injection/Inversion are a little more cumbersome in C++ but certainly can be done, and I believe there's libraries for that as well (found a couple searching around, like fruit and boost-ext di ).

Jodd – The Unbearable Lightness of Java
Dependency injection does not have to be dynamic, it can totally be done at compile time. Boost DI is an example: https://boost-ext.github.io/di/

Top five C/C++ things/tips/tricks you wish you had known earlier and are now used very often
Funny you mention dependency injection, proposed Boost.DI shall be up for Boost peer review probably in March. https://boost-ext.github.io/di/
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Magic Enum C++ and Experimental Boost.DI you can also consider the following projects:
Nameof C++ - Nameof operator for modern C++, simply obtain the name of a variable, type, function, macro, and enum
kangaru - 🦘 A dependency injection container for C++11, C++14 and later
Protobuf - Protocol Buffers - Google's data interchange format
American Fuzzy Lop - american fuzzy lop - a security-oriented fuzzer
cereal - A C++11 library for serialization
c-smart-pointers - Smart pointers for the (GNU) C programming language
FlatBuffers - FlatBuffers: Memory Efficient Serialization Library
gcc-poison - gcc-poison
Boost.Serialization - Boost.org serialization module
outcome - Provides very lightweight outcome<T> and result<T> (non-Boost edition)
pfr - std::tuple like methods for user defined types without any macro or boilerplate code
stb - stb single-file public domain libraries for C/C++
