An extension to the [AWS SDK for PHP](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-php) for interacting with AWS services using resource-oriented objects.

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

The core AWS SDK for PHP is composed of service client objects that have methods corresponding 1-to-1 with operations in the service's API (e.g., [`Ec2Client::runInstances()` method](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-sdk-php/v3/api/Aws/Ec2/ec2-2014-06-15.html#runinstances) maps to the [EC2 service's RunInstances operation](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/API_RunInstances.html)).

This project builds build upon the SDK to add new types of objects that allow you to interact with the AWS service APIs in a more *resource-oriented* way. This allows you to use a more expressive syntax when working with AWS services, because you are acting on objects that understand their relationships with other resources and that encapsulate their identifying information.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You must install the AWS Resource APIs using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) by requiring the [`aws/aws-sdk-php-resources` package](https://packagist.org/packages/aws/aws-sdk-php-resources) (`composer require aws/aws-sdk-php-resources`) in your project.

**Note:** The Resource APIs use [Version 3 of the AWS SDK for PHP](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-php/tree/v3).

Types of Objects
----------------

[](#types-of-objects)

The Resource APIs introduce 4 new objects, all within the `Aws\Resource`namespace.

### 1. Aws

[](#1-aws)

The `Aws` object acts as the starting point into the resource APIs.
