      The TypeScript Compiler API provides programmatic access to the
      TypeScript compiler for parsing, analyzing, and transforming
      TypeScript and JavaScript code. Developers can create custom
      linters, code generators, documentation tools, and IDE integrations
      using the AST manipulation and type checking capabilities.

      The TypeScript Language Service API powers IDE features like
      autocomplete, go to definition, find references, refactoring, and
      error diagnostics. It provides the same intelligence used by VS Code
      and other editors for TypeScript and JavaScript development.
