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 isn’t there a decent file format for tabular data?
Yes, multiple tools exist to diff images, e.g. https://github.com/dmtrKovalenko/odiff

Why isn’t there a decent file format for tabular data?
Hm I wasn't aware of RSON. https://github.com/rson-rs/rson
QSN isn't intended to be tied to Rust in any way (and isn't), while RSON says it uses the Serde data model.
This gets at an issue I have been having a hard time explaining, mentioned here:
http://www.oilshell.org/blog/2022/03/backlog-arch.html
That is, narrow waists are necessarily a COMPROMISE. JSON is a compromise, and Rust users will be equally unhappy as Lua or Erlang users. That is a feature and not a bug for something meant of interoperability. You are "stuck with" the lowest common denominator, but that's what enables interop.
I contrast "monoglot" serialization formats like Python pickle an Go .gob with language-independent formats like JSON, TSV, and HTML. The wisdom of JSON is that Crockford specified it independently of JavaScript.
But both are useful.
It's not clear if RSON is meant to be monoglot or polyglot, but it's a huge difference and it seems more monoglot. QSN on the other hand is definitely a polyglot design like JSON, despite being derived from Rust.
What are some alternatives?
pixelmatch - The smallest, simplest and fastest JavaScript pixel-level image comparison library
hsv5 - HTML5 Based Alternative to CSV, TSV, JSONL, etc
winmerge - WinMerge is an Open Source differencing and merging tool for Windows. WinMerge can compare both folders and files, presenting differences in a visual text format that is easy to understand and handle.
parquet-wasm - Rust-based WebAssembly bindings to read and write Apache Parquet data
ndjson-spec - Specification
pixels - A tiny hardware-accelerated pixel frame buffer. 🦀
AwesomeCSV - 🕶️A curated list of awesome tools for dealing with CSV.
csvz - The hot new standard in open databases
oil - Oils is our upgrade path from bash to a better language and runtime. It's also for Python and JavaScript users who avoid shell!
ssv - Separator Separated Values file format and libraries
