TypeScript is a strongly typed superset of JavaScript developed and maintained by Microsoft. Strong typing helps you write cleaner code and detect and fix potential errors much earlier in the development process.Because TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, any existing JavaScript program is also a valid TypeScript program. This means TypeScript can interface seamlessly with any existing JavaScript code. It also means migrating from JavaScript to TypeScript can be done incrementally.Although TypeScript and JavaScript can work well together, there are a number of important factors to consider when planning a migration.
