Intro

Smithy is an interface definition language (IDL) provided by AWS. It is protocol agnostic, flexible, and reasonably low surface, which facilitates the writing of tooling around it.

Smithy4s is a tool that generates third-party-free, protocol-agnostic scala code from smithy specifications.

Smithy4s can be used to:

  • quickly derive http/rest servers and clients
  • derive pure-scala AWS clients
  • derive CLI tools
  • and has the potential for much, much more!

Smithy4s supports both Smithy 2.0 and Smithy 1.0 models. You can read about the differences in this blogpost from AWS.
