TypeScript vs. JavaScript: Tug of War

Knowing TypeScript and JavaScript

We all know that TypeScript and JavaScript are among the most popular and widely used programming languages in the world of application development. To understand the differences and use cases, and in order to know which one is best suited, I have done some research and have come up with logic and reasonings in the form of a blog. Here, we will be talking about the two languages, their correlation, benefits of each of them, and the primary difference.

JavaScript is scripting and client-side programming language which allows web pages to be interactive. This states that it runs in user’s web browser without the use of resources from the web server. It is used to perform dynamic tasks such as conducting polls and quizzes and contests. Javascript can be used with other technologies like XML, REST APIs, and more. TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript and therefore, contains all of its elements.
