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.

The yaml document from hell
As /u/astatine said, an excellent but under-recognized alternative syntax for configuration files is NestedText, where everything is a string unless the ingesting code says otherwise, and there is no escaping needed ever.

Yaml: First Class Citizen?
I don't know what traits from markdown you'd hope for, but for a relatively obscure but technically excellent format, you can check out NestedText.

A Nigthtmare called YML
I recently came to appreciate and favor an alternative format called NestedText. Like YAML, indentation is used for structure, so like YAML, you may hate it.

nt2: a CLI converter between NestedText and JSON, YAML, or TOML
I recently discovered NestedText, and really appreciate the design. To me, it hits the nail on the head where projects like strictyaml and hjson come very close.

YAML: It's Time to Move On
I'm glad to see people experimenting with alternative document/object representations, but this one might be a hard sell: based on the README[1], it only has Python, Zig and Janet implementations so far. One of the nice things about YAML (and JSON, TOML, etc.) is that they have decently mature C, C++, or Rust libraries that other languages bind to.

My two favorite things share the same love as me for YAML!

Json alternatives
NestedText was left out. Has the feel of YaML, without all the complexity and user traps.

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.

I'm no expert in any of these tools, but here are some yamlpath and jello examples to match:

FWIW, yamlpath (tested with 3.6.4) seems to strip and forgive those characters:
