Noise: the share of npm's count that mirror spikes and crawlers account for. What remains still includes CI and dependency installs.

Snapshot from the daily build of Nov 6, 2026, last 7 days of npm data. With JavaScript on, this page recomputes it live with a 12-month chart.

By real installs, eslint is ahead of oxlint by about 4.6×: about 205M vs 44.3M a week. npm's raw counts are 204,597,234 for eslint and 44,287,100 for oxlint, which include mirrors, scanners and crawlers. Mirror spikes and crawlers removed. CI and dependency installs still count, so this is not a head count.

How the estimate works

  1. Cut the spike every new version gets from mirrors in its first days.
  2. Subtract the flat floor robots download from every version each week.
  3. 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.
