This package is deprecated. It is only used in "legacy auth", and no longer used in the AWS SDK as of the Smithy Reference Architecture implementation of identity and auth.
The aws4 package is a lightweight utility that signs requests using AWS Signature Version 4. It can be used independently of the AWS SDK. Unlike @aws-sdk/middleware-signing, which is integrated within the AWS SDK v3, aws4 can be used with any HTTP request tool, providing more flexibility but requiring manual integration.
This package includes functionality for signing in users and handling tokens with Amazon Cognito. While it is focused on authentication like @aws-sdk/middleware-signing, its scope is specifically tied to Amazon Cognito and does not provide general request signing capabilities for other AWS services.
