Version 4.17.2 Details

@types/express provides TypeScript definitions for the popular Express.js framework, enabling developers to leverage static typing and improve code maintainability in their Express applications. Version 4.17.2, released on November 1, 2019, builds upon the previous stable version 4.17.1, released August 19, 2019, by incorporating incremental improvements and refinements to the type definitions.

Both versions share core dependencies like @types/body-parser, @types/serve-static, and @types/express-serve-static-core, ensuring compatibility with common middleware and functionalities within Express applications. The license remains MIT, fostering open-source contribution and usage. The source code is maintained within the DefinitelyTyped repository on GitHub, allowing developers to contribute and stay up-to-date with the latest updates.

A notable difference lies in the unpackedSize attribute within the dist object. Version 4.17.2 has an unpacked size of 6543 bytes, while version 4.17.1 is slightly smaller at 6091 bytes. This suggests that version 4.17.2 includes relatively minor additions or modifications compared to the previous version. These changes may encompass bug fixes, enhanced type coverage for specific Express features, or improved documentation within the type definitions themselves contributing to a more robust developer experience.
