superstruct
A simple and composable way to validate data in JavaScript (and TypeScript).

Every tarball fetch: mirrors, scanners, CI and people.

high confidence≈ 9.64M–9.65M

Mirror spikes and crawlers removed. CI and dependency installs still count, so this is not a head count.
noise under 1% of npm's count, so nearly all of it counts. noise real installs
Why this estimate
With JavaScript on, this lists what the filter found for this package.
Most used major version: 2, the latest one, with 52% of last week's downloads above the crawler floor. Most used single version: 2.0.2.
Snapshot from the daily build of Nov 6, 2026, last 7 days of npm data. With JavaScript on, this page recomputes it live from the npm API.
How many people use superstruct?
npm counted 9,646,688 downloads of superstruct 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 9.64M–9.65M look like real installs. At this scale most of them come from CI, builds and other packages that depend on superstruct, so the number of people behind them is far smaller.
Is superstruct still maintained?
Probably not actively: there has been no release in over a year, though that can also mean it is simply finished. The latest version, 2.0.2, came out on Jul 6, 2024. There were no stable releases in the last 12 months. It was first published on Nov 25, 2017. npm lists 2 maintainers.
Is superstruct still used?
Downloads with publish spikes removed are up 57% over 3 months and up 172% over 11 months. For scale, the median of the 269 packages we track, which lean towards today's most downloaded, is up 157% over 11 months, so this one is ahead of that. Last week, 52% of downloads above the crawler floor were on major version 2, the latest one; the most used single version was 2.0.2, with 52%. Weekdays get 1.7× the downloads of weekends, which fits people at work, though CI follows the same rhythm. Crawlers account for about 360 downloads a week, roughly 4 per version.
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.
