 #### Using the JS API
 
-The API shown above works pretty much the same with TypeScript.

 The library also includes an early implementation of [decorators](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/decorators.html).
 
-**Note** that this API is rather new in protobuf.js (and probably buggy) and that decorators are an experimental feature in TypeScript. Also note that declaration order is important depending on the JS target. For example, `@Field.d(2, AwesomeArrayMessage)` requires that `AwesomeArrayMessage` has been defined earlier when targeting `ES5`.
