#️⃣ Entrypoints

Name	Path	Description
.	./mod.ts	Default. High level APIs.
./lowlevel	./lowlevel.ts	Low level APIs.

Note

• Different runtimes have vary support for the entrypoints, visit the runtime documentation for more information.
• These are not part of the public APIs hence should not be used:
  • Benchmark/Test file (e.g.: example.bench.ts, example.test.ts).
  • Entrypoint name or path include any underscore prefix (e.g.: _example.ts, foo/_example.ts).
  • Identifier/Namespace/Symbol include any underscore prefix (e.g.: _example, Foo._example).
