Methodology
Note: In our reports, we value the position of each technology based on:
-
NPM Downloads
This is the most important factor that actually determines the number of active users of a given technology.
-
GitHub Stars
The number of stars on GitHub is often overestimated, as it often results not from the actual position of the technology, but rather from efficient marketing. However, it is still an important factor that allows us to estimate technology trends.
-
Website traffic (based on SimilarWeb data )
The traffic on the website shows the true potential of a given technology.
Every technology to grow needs great documentation, affordable learning materials and a large and active community.
Website traffic indicates how strong are the factors listed above.
