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?
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.

One major limitation with quoted values that can this contain record delimiters (as opposed to escaping the delimiters) is that it stops systems from being able to load records in parallel.
Some systems ban embedded record delimiters, for this reason.
Btw, I’ve (previously) included at least one of your essays in “awesome csv” list at GitHub. https://github.com/secretGeek/AwesomeCSV#essays
There’s a few specs mentioned there too — is one of those the spec you worked on?
What are some alternatives?
hsv5 - HTML5 Based Alternative to CSV, TSV, JSONL, etc
parquet-wasm - Rust-based WebAssembly bindings to read and write Apache Parquet data
odiff - The fastest pixel-by-pixel image visual difference tool in the world.
ndjson-spec - Specification
steam2csv - View and download anyone's Steam game library to a .csv file
catsql - cat for sql dbs
ssv - Separator Separated Values file format and libraries
