TypeScript

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript developed by Microsoft that adds static typing, improved tooling, and better code structuring. It compiles to plain JavaScript, making it compatible with all modern browsers and frameworks. TypeScript helps developers catch errors early, write maintainable code, and build large-scale applications with confidence. It is widely used in enterprise applications, front-end frameworks like Angular, and full-stack development.

Key Features of TypeScript:

• Static Typing: Detect errors at compile-time rather than runtime

• Interfaces & Generics: Improve code reusability and maintainability

• Compatibility with JavaScript: Works with existing JavaScript codebases

• Improved Tooling & Autocompletion: Enhanced development experience in IDEs

• Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Support: Supports classes, interfaces, and inheritance

• Strong Integration with Frontend Frameworks: Used in Angular, React, and Vue

Best Use Cases for TypeScript:

• Enterprise-scale applications that require strong type safety

• Frontend frameworks like Angular and large React projects

• Node.js applications for backend development with better maintainability

• Cross-platform development where strict typing improves collaboration

• Full-stack applications using TypeScript with both frontend and backend
