How many people use @csstools/css-parser-algorithms?
npm counted 128,366,150 downloads of @csstools/css-parser-algorithms in the last 7 days. Nobody can count people exactly, npm included: it does not record who downloaded what. After removing mirror spikes and crawlers, about 128M look like real installs. At this scale most of them come from CI, builds and other packages that depend on @csstools/css-parser-algorithms, so the number of people behind them is far smaller.
Is @csstools/css-parser-algorithms still maintained?
Most likely yes, going by its releases. The latest version, 4.0.2, came out on Oct 1, 2026. The last 12 months saw 3 stable releases, typically 130 days apart. It was first published on Nov 14, 2022. npm lists 3 maintainers.
Is @csstools/css-parser-algorithms still used?
Downloads with publish spikes removed are up 84% over 3 months and up 603% over 11 months. For scale, the median of the 384 packages we track, which lean towards today's most downloaded, is up 164% over 11 months, so this one is ahead of that. Last week, 55% of downloads above the crawler floor were on major version 4, the latest one; the most used single version was 3.0.5, with 39%. Weekdays get 1.7× the downloads of weekends, which fits people at work, though CI follows the same rhythm. Crawlers account for about 92,937 downloads a week, roughly 3,575 per version.
Monthly downloads of @csstools/css-parser-algorithms
The busiest month was Oct 2026, with about 15,679,892 downloads a day once publish spikes are removed; the quietest was Dec 2025 (the holiday season), with about 2,245,842.

Whole months through Oct 31, 2026. Publish spikes are found day by day and summed per month. Real installs apply this week's crawler share to each month's downloads (the upper end also keeps the removed spikes), so they follow npm's curve rather than measure it. The change compares spike-free downloads per day.
How the estimate works
- Cut the spike every new version gets from mirrors in its first days.
- Subtract the flat floor robots download from every version each week.
- Show what is left as a range, with a confidence level. It still includes CI and dependency installs, so it is not a count of people.
