Developer guide - AWS SDK for Java 2.x

The AWS SDK for Java provides a Java API for Amazon Web Services. Using the SDK, you

can easily build Java

applications that work with Amazon S3, Amazon EC2, DynamoDB, and more.

The AWS SDK for Java 2.x is a major rewrite of the version 1.x code base. It’s built

on top of

Java 8+ and adds several frequently requested features. These include support for

non-blocking I/O

and the ability to plug in a different HTTP implementation at run time. For more information

see

the AWS Blog. For guidance on migrating your application from 1.11.x to 2.x, see the

migration guide.

We regularly add support for new services to the AWS SDK for Java. For a list of changes

and

features in a particular version, view the change log.
