TypeLITE and TypeWriter also generate TypeScript interfaces/classes from POCO classes, through different styles of programming efforts, suitable for different Software Development Life Cycles.

TypeLITE provides a set of API, and you may do cherry picking through decorating classes with TsClassAttribute or TypeLITE fluent API in order to generate TypeScript interfaces

TypeWriter provides a Visual Studio Extension that tracks C# classes matching some filters defined in a template, and the extension will generate TypeScript classes automatically whenever you modify filtered POCO classes.

POCO2TS.exe generates TypeScript interfaces from POCO classes implemented in an assembly. The creation and update of TypeScript codes are generate done through a batch file. And the core component Fonlow.Poco2Ts is used in clientapigen, so the TypeScipe data interfaces are used together with client API codes generated.
