The MSAL library for JavaScript enables client-side JavaScript applications to authenticate users using Azure AD work and school accounts (AAD), Microsoft personal accounts (MSA) and social identity providers like Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft accounts, etc. through Azure AD B2C service. It also enables your app to get tokens to access Microsoft Cloud services such as Microsoft Graph.
The @azure/msal-common package described by the code in this folder serves as a common package dependency for the @azure/msal-browser package (and in the future, the msal-node package). Be aware that this is an internal library, and is subject to frequent change. It is not meant for production consumption by itself.
See here.
This library is not meant for production use. Please use one of these packages specific to the platform you are developing for:
npm install @azure/msal-common

This package is a collection of Passport Strategies to help you integrate with Azure Active Directory. It is similar to @azure/msal-common but is specifically tailored for Node.js applications using Passport.js, making it more suitable for applications that already use Passport.js for other authentication needs.
oidc-client is a client-side library to help with OpenID Connect (OIDC) and OAuth2 protocol flows in web, desktop, and mobile applications. Unlike @azure/msal-common, which is optimized for Azure services, oidc-client is more generic and can be used with any OIDC-compliant identity provider.
