You need to know on what criteria the libraries are judged. Some people will judge most features = best, even if that means some string decoding library installs a 1500 other libraries so it can render PDFs of the strings it decoded and it installs a file system watcher so it can re-render them as they change. Me, I'd choose the library that just decodes and nothing else but plenty of devs want it to "do all the things"
