tsconfig.json files are configuration for TypeScript projects. They contain the command line options to tell TSC (the TypeScript transpiler) how to build the JavaScript output.

Options can also include directives for the TypeScript editor, such as whether to compile on save and (in some editors) code formatting options.

The schema can be found at http://json.schemastore.org/tsconfig

For more details, see What is a tsconfig.json?.

The term "TSconfig" can also (much more rarely) refer to TypoScript used in the proprietary TYPO3 CMS.
