## What it is
JavaScript Rising Stars is an annual report analyzing the JavaScript landscape by tracking GitHub star growth across frontend, backend, fullstack, AI, testing, and state management projects. The repository contains the Astro-built multilingual website published at risingstars.js.org.

## Use cases

- compare frontend framework popularity by github stars
- research which node.js and fullstack frameworks are growing
- find popular react and vue ecosystem libraries
- track rising ai and build tools in the js ecosystem
- read an annual overview of the javascript landscape

## When to choose
- you want a curated, data-driven yearly snapshot of the JavaScript ecosystem
- you need to identify fast-growing open-source web projects
- you want multilingual commentary on ecosystem trends

## When to avoid
- you need real-time or continuously updated rankings
- you need a tool or library rather than a report
- you need metrics beyond GitHub star counts
