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, express is ahead of @nestjs/core by about 8.3×: about 196M vs 23.7M a week. npm's raw counts are 196,349,991 for express and 23,657,109 for @nestjs/core, 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
- 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.
