# AWS CDK reference
<a name="reference"></a>

This section contains reference information for the AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK).

## API reference
<a name="reference-api"></a>

The [API Reference](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2) contains information about the AWS Construct Library and other APIs provided by the AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK). Most of the AWS Construct Library is contained in a single package called by its TypeScript name: `aws-cdk-lib`. The actual package name varies by language. Separate versions of the API reference are provided for each supported programming language.

The CDK API reference is organized into sub-modules. There are one or more sub-modules for each AWS service.

Each sub-module has an overview that includes information about how to use its APIs. For example, the [S3](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_s3-readme.html) overview demonstrates how to set default encryption on an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket.
