# What is Amazon SDK for SAP ABAP?
<a name="home"></a>

Amazon SDK for SAP ABAP provides an interface to the services offered by Amazon in the ABAP language. Using the SDK, you can implement ABAP BADIs, reports, transactions, OData services, and other ABAP artifacts on Amazon Web Services services, such as Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Translate, and more. You can also develop for ABAP-based systems, starting from SAP NetWeaver 7.4 and in an SAP Business Technology Platform environment.

## Features of Amazon SDK for SAP ABAP
<a name="features"></a>

Amazon SDK for SAP ABAP has been designed to feel familiar and natural to SAP developers. For example, while all Amazon Web Services services use the `true` and `false` strings to represent Boolean data in XML and JSON structures, SDK for SAP ABAP converts these to ABAP-native `'X'` and `' '` single-character values. SDK for SAP ABAP uses native ABAP constructs as much as possible, including in data types and timestamp formats. As a result, the ABAP programmer does not need to be concerned about the underlying JSON and XML serialization or with the wire format of the API protocol.
