Tuples and Interfaces in TypeScript are used for different purposes and they also have different characteristics. Some of the differences between tuples and interfaces are written below.
Tuple |
Interface |
---|---|
It is an ordered collection of elements with different data types. |
It is used to define the structure of an object in TypeScript |
The elements stored in a tuple can accessed using their indexes just like arrays. |
The properties of an interface can be accessed either using the dot notation or square brackets. |
The number of elements stored in a tuple are fixed and their types are defined at the time of their definition. |
They can be used to enhance the code reusability by extending their uses with classes or other interfaces. |
