Key differences between JavaScript and TypeScript
Characteristic | JavaScript | TypeScript |
---|---|---|
Syntax | JavaScript has a more flexible and forgiving syntax compared to TypeScript. | TypeScript has a stricter syntax compared to JavaScript, with the addition of type annotations. |
Paradigm | JavaScript is a multi-paradigm language that supports both object-oriented and functional programming. | TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript and supports the same paradigms as JavaScript, with the addition of static typing. |
Typing | JavaScript is a dynamically typed language, which means that types are determined at runtime. | TypeScript is a statically typed language, which means that types are determined at compile time. |
Performance | JavaScript is generally slower than TypeScript due to its dynamic typing and lack of type checking. | TypeScript is generally faster than JavaScript due to its static typing and type checking. |
Libraries and frameworks | JavaScript has a vast collection of libraries and frameworks, including React, Angular, and Vue. | TypeScript can use the same libraries and frameworks as JavaScript, with the added benefit of type checking and better IDE support. |
Community and support | JavaScript has a large and active community with plenty of resources and support available. | TypeScript has a growing community with increasing support and resources available. |
Learning curve | JavaScript has a relatively low learning curve due to its forgiving syntax and dynamic typing. | TypeScript has a steeper learning curve compared to JavaScript due to its stricter syntax and static typing. |
