Type mapping

| JSON value | TypeScript type | |---|---| | "string" | string | | 42 | number | | true / false | boolean | | null | null | | [1, 2, 3] | number[] | | [] | unknown[] | | { ... } | object type with inferred properties |

Keys that are not valid TypeScript identifiers (e.g. "hello-world") are preserved as quoted property names:

npx typing-json '{"hello-world": "test", "active": true}'

{
  "hello-world": string;
  active: boolean;
}
