This package is built with full TypeScript support. All functions are type-safe, and type definitions are bundled, so you get autocomplete, inline documentation, and compile-time safety out of the box, no need to install `@types`.
Examples :
```typescript
import { deepMerge } from '@js-utility/object';
const result = deepMerge<{ a: number }, { b: string }>({ a: 1 }, { b: 'hello' });
// result is inferred as: { a: number; b: string }
```
