Note

ts2abc uses the command line interaction mode and converts JS code into ARK bytecode files that can be run on an ARK runtime system. ts2abc supports Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Usage Guidelines

You can run node --expose-gc your_path_to/index.js [options] your_file.js to convert a JS file into an ARK bytecode file using ts2abc. If no parameter is specified for [options], an ARK binary file is generated by default. The index.js file is the executable file generated after ts2abc compilation.
