TypeScript is a statically typed superset of JavaScript developed and maintained by Microsoft. It adds features such as interfaces, enums, and type annotations to help developers build large-scale applications more effectively.

Features

  • Static Typing: Provides better tooling support with type checking.
  • Interfaces & Enums: Defines contract between objects and enables cleaner code.
  • Modules: Supports module imports and exports for better organization.
  • Decorators: Allows adding metadata to classes, methods, accessors, etc.

Use Cases

TypeScript is widely used in web applications due to its robust type system and ability to transpile into vanilla JavaScript. It’s particularly popular among frameworks like Angular and Next.js.
