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.

Unable to use asio.hpp when using conan
I haven't used the cmake_find_package generator much myself. People like it because it lets you write your cmake in a mostly conan agnostic way. If you don't care about that, I find the plain cmake generator much easier to use. You can inspect the generated conanbuildinfo.cmake file to see the targets, and call conan_basic_setup(TARGETS ). Then you link against targets that look like CONAN_PKG::boost or similar. I usually wrap conan setup in a cmake utility file like this: https://github.com/jimmyorourke/reflecxx/blob/main/test/cmake/ConanSetup.cmake

Is there any good binary serializer & deserializer for C / C++?
I have a library and tooling that using code generation will allow you to automatically generate serialization/deserialization to your custom binary format. It uses the visitor pattern and code generation for static reflection (eg iterating over fields of a struct). Check it out at https://github.com/jimmyorourke/reflecxx. Particularly it includes an automatic to/from json, which you could use as a starting point for how to write your own visitor.

figcone - Read JSON, YAML, TOML, XML or INI configuration by declaring a struct
You might be interested in a project I've put together that uses libclang to generate static reflection metadata that can then be used for generic parsing or serialization: https://github.com/jimmyorourke/reflecxx. It has examples of automatic to/from json.

- What are some ways I can serialize objects?

Introducing ByteStream, a super intuitive, safe, reliable and easy to use utility for binary serialisation and deserialization of complex and deeply nested C++ objects. Looking forward to feedback and comments.
Thanks for sharing https://github.com/fraillt/bitsery it seems more powerful but require quite a boilerplate code for even very simple composite stuff. With ByteStream you can totally forget about deep you are in the data-structure hierarchy.

Binary serialization library for at least C++17?
Bitsery is the closest I've seen to it, but you have to use extensions (which i can't yet figure out the API for) to make it achieve byte for byte compatbility

Google Protobuf vs JSON vs [insert candidate here]
If size and performance matter, then take a look at bitsery. * it might be 9x+ faster than cereal and 18x faster than protobuf. * size-wise, you might save 20-30% by default * on top of that you additional might opt-in into: * bit-level serialization control (e.g. if your values are in the range 1000-2000 it will take you 10bits, or use VLE) * backward-forward compatibility support * pointer support, including raw pointers with the ability to provide custom allocator. * and powerful extensions system, which allows you to further customize things in any way you want it :)

easy Serialization library for C++?
About on par with nlohmann is a binary serialization lib called Bitsery. It's easy to use, and will be a lot more performant than json. The downside is that the serialized data won't be human readable.
What are some alternatives?
metacpp - Meta C++ Library and Tool
Protobuf - Protocol Buffers - Google's data interchange format
miroir - C++20 compile-time reflection library.
smf - Fastest RPC in the west
namedtuple - Implementation of super-fast C++-styled namedtuple, for compile-time reflection.
cereal - A C++11 library for serialization
TextLayoutSampler - Utility to display text via multiple Windows API's simultaneously (D2D, DWrite, GDI, GDI+).
FlatBuffers - FlatBuffers: Memory Efficient Serialization Library
metapp - C++ runtime reflection library
Magic Enum C++ - Static reflection for enums (to string, from string, iteration) for modern C++, work with any enum type without any macro or boilerplate code
Nameof C++ - Nameof operator for modern C++, simply obtain the name of a variable, type, function, macro, and enum
