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.

Looking for a data serialization/deserialization library for use in an embedded system
While I don't have much experience with it directly, I do know that Google's protobuf was designed with minimal footprint capabilities in mind. While it might not work out-the-box for embedded systems, it looks like there is a well maintained open source library NanoPB that "is a small code-size Protocol Buffers implementation in ansi C. It is especially suitable for use in microcontrollers, but fits any memory restricted system." And for added reassurance, it looks like Chromium has a dependency on NanoPB.

Lightweight data serialization/deserialization format
Protocol buffers are designed for this. Consider using nanopb on the device side.

serialization protocol for rf messages in C
I think you're looking for nanopb, the lightweight implementation of Google's protocol buffers.

How to create a program that sends to and receive data from Arduino via Bluetooth using C?
In that runtime environment, using only C is indeed the (very) safe "bet". In particular, I might personally prefer using Nanopb - Protocol Buffers for Embedded Systems.
-
Is a packed struct always the same in size?
I know it’s not the question you asked, but the answer might be this: https://github.com/nanopb/nanopb

ESP-Now: multiple devices, but how to do multiple types of data?
The OTHER way to do it is with protobufs, since they don't encode parts of the message that aren't included (that is: any missing part of the message has 0 transmission overhead). nanopb works well on the ESP32.
-
looking for c++ libraries whose equivalent c libraries are also present..
You could look at my library Embedded Proto and Nanopb. If you have any questions let me know.
- How many of you do you actually use C++ for device drivers?
What are some alternatives?
FlatBuffers - FlatBuffers: Memory Efficient Serialization Library
EmbeddedProto - Embedded Proto is a C++ Protocol Buffers implementation specifically suitable for microcontrollers. It is small, reliable and easy to use.
MessagePack - MessagePack implementation for C and C++ / msgpack.org[C/C++]
nanopb-example - This is a simple project created to test the capabilities of Google's protobuf C implementation, nanopb.
Protobuf - Protocol Buffers - Google's data interchange format
raylib - A simple and easy-to-use library to enjoy videogames programming
Bond - Bond is a cross-platform framework for working with schematized data. It supports cross-language de/serialization and powerful generic mechanisms for efficiently manipulating data. Bond is broadly used at Microsoft in high scale services.
