  • TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, which means that TypeScript supports JS libraries and code.
  • TS is considered an object-oriented programming language that helps develop better applications.
  • TS also supports earlier versions of JS like ES6 and ES7, which are not supported by today’s browsers.
  • It offers Optional Static Typing. For example, developers can give types to functions, variables, etc. It also helps to show errors in code before it runs. The main thing is this feature does not force developers to always add types.
