/**
 * For a library such as "example-package", ApiFileGenerator generates the "example-package.api.json"
 * file which represents the API surface for that package.  This file should be published as part
 * of the library's NPM package.  API Extractor will read this file later when it is analyzing
 * another project that consumes the library.  (Otherwise, API Extractor would have to re-analyze all
 * the *.d.ts files, which would be bad because the compiler definitions might not be available for
 * a published package, or the results of the analysis might be different somehow.)  Documentation
 * tools such as api-documenter can also use the *.api.json files.
