Although I wrote the generator, it is property of my employer. I 
am unfortunately not allowed to make it public.

The implementation is straight forward. For every api definition 
(e.g. 
https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js/blob/master/apis/iam-2010-05-08.normal.json) create a module with a class. Read the json file with std.json and for every operation in the json create a method with the same name in the class.
For every shape in the json create a struct with the same name.

Every operation defines either an input shape, output shape, or 
both. During the method call serialize the input struct to json, 
call the aws client with the json and deserialize the output json 
to the output struct.

Kind regards
