Swc will give you an AST, but you’ll still need to re-implement mapped types, type inference, template string types, etc - a large part of the TS type checker. Although, the author of swc is supposedly building a full type checker.
This also needs a CLI.
I’m not planning on implementing one at the moment. The project goal is to greatly expand the use-cases for Typescript types by making it much easier to build custom compile targets.
A CLI means directing much more of my energy to configuration logic and file system IO. As a library, it’s clear how users should “configure” behavior - write or subclass a compiler target and implement whatever you want!
Ah - I see. I've started to build a CLI around it and adopted the `SimpleTypeCompiler` example to build simple JSON schema files. I'm struggling with the API a bit, but I think I can manage.

Looks promising. Thanks for sharing. This also needs a CLI. I was thinking about building something like this in Rust using swc.
