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.

Project idea: port markdownlint to Rust
Either https://github.com/chyh1990/yaml-rust or https://github.com/dtolnay/serde-yaml for parsing the YAML config file that markdownlint uses

How to deal with unmaintained crates? (eg. yaml-rust)
The first thing I did was to find the crate yaml-rust and it seems it isn't really maintained anymore. It has not been updated in a year and there's a lot of PR's and unresolved issues, the CI is broken... So here is my open ended question.
-
YAML and Configuration Files
Currently, my main concern with YAML is that, by the spec, comments are not attached to a particular node (see https://yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html#id2767100). As a result, a lot of YAML parsers (like https://github.com/yaml/libyaml and https://github.com/chyh1990/yaml-rust) only filter out the comments during the parsing phase. This makes it less than ideal for a use-case where the configuration file is expected to be modified by both programs and humans.
TOML makes it more trivial to associate comments with a node. This is mainly because the language is simpler though, as the spec is not explicit about that (https://github.com/chyh1990/yaml-rust).
hjson-js
- YAML vs. JSON
-
In a symfony interview I got asked "but why json? XML is better"
I wish this took off https://hjson.github.io. I like it much more than yaml.
-
JSON5 Data Interchange Format
HJSON [0] is also another format that tries to make it easier for humans to read / write json.
-
YAML and Configuration Files
well there are json alternatives which fit this bill, such as HJSON.
might not be as "common" but it has good implementations for many languages.

zdpack - A tool for merging and converting Minecraft data and resource packs.
zdpack also pre-processes datapacks, allowing json files to be written in hjson or yaml, in addition to allowing a special extensible super-set of MCFunction I call CommandScript. You can check the github page for a quick overview of CommandScript.
