unknown vs any in TypeScript

Read Original

This article details the critical distinction between TypeScript's `any` and `unknown` types. While both can hold any value, `any` disables type checking, whereas `unknown` forces type checks before use, enhancing code safety. It includes practical examples demonstrating how `unknown` prevents runtime errors by requiring type narrowing.
