A transpiler, also known as a source-to-source compiler, is a program that takes source code written in one programming language and converts it into source code in another programming language. This is distinct from a traditional compiler, which typically translates source code into machine code or an intermediate representation. Transpilers are often used to allow developers to use newer language features or dialects while maintaining compatibility with older environments, or to leverage the strengths of different languages. For example, a transpiler might convert modern JavaScript code, which uses features not yet widely supported by all browsers, into an older version of JavaScript that is compatible with a broader range of web browsers. Another common use case is the transpilation of languages like TypeScript, which adds static typing to JavaScript, into plain JavaScript. This allows developers to benefit from the advantages of TypeScript during development while still producing code that can run in any standard JavaScript environment. The output of a transpiler is human-readable source code, which can then be further processed by other tools, such as a traditional compiler or an interpreter. The process is essentially a form of translation between programming languages at the source code level.
