What is Types vs Interfaces?

In TypeScript, both types and interfaces are ways to define the shape of an object. They specify what properties an object should have and the data type of those properties. Types can describe simple types like primitives (string, number, boolean) or more complex structures like unions and intersections, while interfaces are primarily used to define the structure of objects, including their properties and methods. The key difference lies in their extensibility and use cases.
