  "github_readme_excerpt": "# AWS SDK for C++\nThe AWS SDK for C++ provides a modern C++ (version C++ 11 or later) interface for Amazon Web Services (AWS). It is meant to be performant and fully functioning with low- and high-level SDKs, while minimizing dependencies and providing platform portability (Windows, OSX, Linux, and mobile).\n\nAWS SDK for C++ is now in General Availability and recommended for production use. We invite our customers to join the development efforts by submitting pull requests and sending us feedback and ideas via GitHub Issues.\n\n## __Jump To:__\n* [Change log](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-cpp/tags)\n* [API Docs](https://sdk.amazonaws.com/cpp/api/LATEST/index.html)\n* [Getting Started](#getting-started)\n* [Getting Help](#getting-help)\n* [Using the SDK and Other Topics](#using-the-sdk-and-other-topics)\n\n# Getting Started\n\n## Building the SDK:\n\n### Minimum Requirements:\n* Visual Studio 2015 or later\n* OR GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 4.9 or later\n* OR Clang 3.3 or later\n* 4GB of RAM (required for building some of the larger clients; SDK build may fail on EC2 instance types t2.micro, t2.small, and other small instance types due to insufficient memory)\n* Supported platforms\n  * Amazon Linux\n  * Windows\n  * Mac\n\n### Building From Source:\n\n#### To create an **out-of-source build**:\n1. Install CMake and the relevant build tools for your platform. Ensure these are available in your executable path.\n2. Clone this repository with submodules\n\n    ```sh\n    git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-cpp\n    ```\n\n3. Create your build directory. Replace `\u003cBUILD_DIR\u003e` with your build directory name:\n4. Build the project:\n\n    ```sh\n   cd \u003cBUILD_DIR\u003e\n   cmake \u003cpath-to-root-of-this-source-code\u003e \\\n    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug \\\n    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=\u003cpath-to-install\u003e \\\n    -DBUILD_ONLY=\"s3\"\n   cmake --build . --config=Debug\n   cmake --install . --config=Debug\n   ```\n\n   **_NOTE:_** BUILD_ONLY is an optional flag used to list only the services you are using.

It\u0027s the official AWS SDK for C++, offering both high-level and low-level interfaces with minimal external dependencies and cross-platform support (Windows, macOS, Linux). Primary use case is as a build/runtime dependency for C++ projects targeting AWS."
