Where can I find the tsconfig.json defaults?

I can easily find the compiler option defaults for TypeScript by going to https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/compiler-options.html but I cannot find the tsconfig.json defaults.

Where can I find the tsconfig.json defaults?

In particular I'm looking for the default for compileOnSave.

To do this we can use JSON schema for tsconfig. There we can see that there is no default value associated with compileOnSave property.

So I guess the answer is - there is no default value for it. tsc treats absence of the property as if "compile on save" is disabled.

Note. The default property in the JSON schema is just a hint and has no real connection to the actual data, so its up to tsc developers to follow the schema defaults properly, and I really hope they do.
