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.

Analogues of nom crate.
Maybe a parser combinator library is not what you want? One alternative might be writing an expression parser without a library at all: https://matklad.github.io/2020/04/13/simple-but-powerful-pratt-parsing.html (Depending on the grammar you are parsing a Pratt parser might actually be a good fit!) A PEG might also be more suitable for your use case, like pom.

Chumsky, a parser combinator crate that makes writing error-tolerant parsers with recovery easy and fun!
I saw the performance comparison against pom, pom is unfortunately quite slow compared to an handwritten parser as it boxes most (all?) parsers so you may want to compare against a handwritten parser, or at least something in the same ballpark (for reference, combine's json benchmark on the same data is about 6x faster with "good errors", when optimized to work on &str-like input it is about 12x faster, nom or a hand written parser may be another 10-20% faster than that, if I remember correctly.) From a brief skim of the code, I don't see anything that would hinder it from at least closing that gap however.

Whats the best parser generator for rust?
Everyone on this sub seems to be using nom. In my experience I find pom to be intuitive and have to write less code. Maybe it's just me I'm having a hard time understanding nom which has a lot of function calls rather than less.If you compare both the json examples on both projects, the pom example is a lot clearer to read and a lot shorter.

Combine is also nice to use and actively developed.

Hey Rustaceans! Got an easy question? Ask here (9/2022)!
https://crates.io/crates/combine is a decent alternative to Nom. I found it much easier to pick up. I was using it to implement our generalized placeholder syntax in SQLx (which I hope to actually finish at some point): https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx/blob/a2eda2de2462876a160982e57d73103795e34aa2/sqlx-core/src/placeholders.rs

Chumsky, a parser combinator crate that makes writing error-tolerant parsers with recovery easy and fun!
Nice to see support for error recovery with parser combinators! I never got to the point of adding it in combine as I swapped out my language parser(s) to use LALRPOP instead (implementing error recovery for it instead).

You may want to also look at some of the popular parser combinators like nom and combine. I don't think they do what you are suggesting, though.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing pom and combine you can also consider the following projects:
nom - Rust parser combinator framework
pest - The Elegant Parser
rust-peg - Parsing Expression Grammar (PEG) parser generator for Rust
lalrpop - LR(1) parser generator for Rust
git-journal - The Git Commit Message and Changelog Generation Framework :book:
chomp - A fast monadic-style parser combinator designed to work on stable Rust.
chumsky - Write expressive, high-performance parsers with ease.
rust-csv - A CSV parser for Rust, with Serde support.
