API reference

The API Reference contains information about the AWS Construct Library and other APIs provided by the AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK). Most of the AWS Construct Library is contained in a single package called by its TypeScript name: aws-cdk-lib. The actual package name varies by language. Separate versions of the API reference are provided for each supported programming language.

The CDK API reference is organized into sub-modules. There are one or more sub-modules for each AWS service.

Each sub-module has an overview that includes information about how to use its APIs. For example, the S3 overview demonstrates how to set default encryption on an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket.
