Cannot compile with Typescript Project

[johanneskares]

In my project in tsconfig.json when skipLibCheck is set to false or remove the option I can no longer compile the project and I get a bunch of error messages.

here's a link to a failing build: https://github.com/nexys-system/ipfs-infura-client/actions/runs/1753407843
(which is solved by setting skipLibCheck=false)

ToJSON can probably be removed, after a quick search it seems it's not used anywhere - would you like to open a quick PR?

To fix the "cannot find namespace 'fs'" error you can add @types/node to your project as a dev dep.

You probably want skipLibCheck: true in general though, there are lots of modules in the dep tree whose types are broken.

@achingbrain see #4031

@johnb8005 that just removes the circular reference, I mean the whole type can go.
