LlamaIndex vs Haystack vs LangGraph
Every figure below carries the source that reported it and the moment it was observed. Values that failed validation are withheld rather than shown, and a dash means no source we track carries that field for that framework.

Sources: GitHub REST API, npm registry downloads, PyPI registry metadata, pypistats.org downloads. Most recent observation 3h ago. Where a row is marked, ▲ is the highest of the values shown and ▼ the lowest — arithmetic on the figures above, not a ranking or a recommendation. Rows where neither extreme is meaningful are left unmarked rather than given a direction they do not have.
