A collection of essential TypeScript types

/**
Matches a JSON object.

This type can be useful to enforce some input to be JSON-compatible or as a super-type to be extended from. Don't use this as a direct return type as the user would have to double-cast it: `jsonObject as unknown as CustomResponse`. Instead, you could extend your CustomResponse type from it to ensure your type only uses JSON-compatible types: `interface CustomResponse extends JsonObject { … }`.

/**
Matches a JSON array.

@category JSON
*/
export type JsonArray = JsonValue[] | readonly JsonValue[];

/**
Matches any valid JSON primitive value.

/**
Matches any valid JSON value.

@see `Jsonify` if you need to transform a type to one that is assignable to `JsonValue`.
