 Smithy4s provides functions to create AWS clients from generated code. As of 0.18, Smithy4s supports (at least partially) all AWS protocols that are publicly documented.
 
-Our implementation of the AWS protocols is tested against the official [compliance-tests](https://github.com/smithy-lang/smithy/tree/main/smithy-aws-protocol-tests/model), which gives us a reasonable level of confidence that most of the (de)serialisation logic is correct involved when communicating with AWS is correct. Our implementation of the AWS signature algorithm.
-(which allows AWS to authenticate requests) is tested against the Java implementation used by the official AWS SDK.

 AWS does not publishes the specs to their services to Maven. However, The specs in question (that are written in json syntax) can be found in some of the [official SDKs](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3/tree/main/codegen/sdk-codegen/aws-models) published by AWS. These `.json files` can be understood by smithy4s, just like `.smithy`, and can be used to generate code.
