Question 1

What is a tsconfig.json file?

Accepted Answer

A `tsconfig.json` file in the root of a TypeScript project specifies the root files and the compiler options required to compile the project. It's a JSON file that controls how the TypeScript compiler (`tsc`) behaves.

Question 2

How do I use this viewer?

Accepted Answer

Click the "Open Local File" button to select a `tsconfig.json` file from your device. Its content will be displayed as plain text. As it's a JSON file, our JSON Viewer (link to /viewer/json) is also perfectly suitable and might offer better formatting if the file is complex.

Question 3

Does this tool compile TypeScript or validate the config?

Accepted Answer

No, this viewer only displays the text content of the `tsconfig.json` file. It does not run the TypeScript compiler or validate the configuration options.
