Hi,

for an inhouse project I developed a generator which generates 
based on the API definitions from here 
https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js/tree/master/apis
classes for the services and structures for the input/output 
requests.


     auto client = new AwsClient();
     auto dynamoDBService = new DynamoDBService(client);

     CreateTableInput request = {
             tableName: "zapp-test1",
             provisionedThroughput: {
                 readCapacityUnits: 1,
                 writeCapacityUnits: 1
             },
             attributeDefinitions: [
                 {attributeName: "A", attributeType: 
ScalarAttributeType.S},
                 {attributeName: "B", attributeType: 
ScalarAttributeType.S}
             ],
             keySchema: [
                 {attributeName: "A", keyType: KeyType.HASH}
             ]
         };

     dynamoDBService.createTable(request);


Actually the generated classes do not call AWS directly but uses 
the AWS console client.
Unfortunately the generator is proprietary.
The good thing is, it was easily written within 4-5 hours.

PS. Almost every service was working out of the box except EMR. 
There is a difference between the EMR commands / parameters in 
the API definitions and in the AWS console client.

Kind regards
André
