Typescript module syntax

In typescript, what is the difference between these two:

declare module foo { ... }

and

declare namespace foo { ... }

From the docs I get the feeling they should be the same and the second one is preferred. However I see many .d.ts files that uses the first one which makes me unsure.

They are exactly the same. The keyword module was deprecated in favor of namespace in this case.

This is because module confuses the with the concept of file modules : https://basarat.gitbooks.io/typescript/content/docs/project/modules.html
