What is target in tsconfig.json for?

I am quite new to Typescript. What does Target in tsconfig.json signify?

target signifies which target of JavaScript should be emitted from the given TypeScript. Examples:

`target:es5`

()=>null will become function(){return null} as ES5 doesn’t have arrow functions.

()=>null will become ()=>null as ES6 has arrow functions.

I also made a quick video on the subject 🌹.
