angular/packages/compiler-cli/private/README.md

This is a directory defining the `@angular/compiler-cli/private` entry-point. The entry-point can be used to
expose code that is needed by other Angular framework packages, without having to expose code through the primary
entry-point.

The primary entry-point has a couple of downsides when it comes to cross-package imports:

- It exports various other things that will end up creating additional type dependencies. e.g. when
  the Angular localize package relies on it, it might end up accidentally relying on `@types/node`.
- The primary entry-point has a larger build graph, slowing down local development as much more things
  can invalidate the dependent targets. A smaller subset leads to faster incremental builds.
refactor: switch packages away from deep cross-package imports (#43431) The Angular Core and localize package currently use deep imports for code that is shipped. This is problematic as we want to ship the compiler-cli as full-ESM. To achieve this we need to use a bundler and this breaks deep imports. We use a bundler for the compiler CLI because for full ESM compatibility, we would need to explicitly add the `.js` extension to all relative imports. This is very cumbersome and prone to mistakes so to mitigate this problem in a safe way, we bundle the compiler-cli. Note: Deep imports continue to exist for the language service as it bundles the compiler-cli.
