@aws-sdk/util-utf8

Registry deprecationdanger

The entire package is deprecated on npm and explicitly says it has moved to @smithy/util-utf8. This is a severe adoption concern even though the source project remains active.

Release historycaution

The package has had no releases in roughly three years, with zero releases in the last 12 months. This supports the package-level deprecation concern, although the linked repository is still active.

Repo package mentioncaution

The repository name does not match this package and its README does not mention it, creating some package-ownership ambiguity. The AWS monorepo backing and other signals partly compensate for that concern.
