# Amazon DynamoDB XML and Maven Support

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

If you manually code a Mule runtime engine (Mule) app in XML, either from the Anypoint Studio XML
editor or from a text editor, you can get access to the connector in your app by adding reference
statements to both your XML Mule flow and the Apache Maven `pom.xml` file.

You can avoid this manual process by using Studio. When you install the connector in Studio, Studio
automatically populates the XML code with the connector’s namespace and schema location. It also
adds a dependency to the `pom.xml` file.

## Add a Namespace for the Connector

Paste the following code inside the `<mule>` tag of the header of your configuration XML:

```xml
http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/dynamodb
http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/dynamodb/current/mule-dynamodb.xsd
```

This example shows how the namespace statements are placed in the `<mule>` XML block:

```xml
<mule xmlns:ee="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/ee/core"
        xmlns:dynamodb="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/dynamodb"
        xmlns:http="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/http"
        xmlns="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core"
        xmlns:doc="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/documentation"
        xmlns:spring="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-current.xsd
        http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core
        http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core/current/mule.xsd
        http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/http
        http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/
        http/current/mule-http.xsd
        http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/dynamodb
        http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/dynamodb/current/mule-dynamodb.xsd
        http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/ee/core
        http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/ee/core/current/mule-ee.xsd">
```

## Add a POM File Dependency

The Apache Maven `pom.xml` file generated by Studio contains dependencies for a Mule app. When you
code a Mule app manually, include this XML snippet in your `pom.xml` file to enable access to this
connector:

```xml
<dependency>
  <groupId>com.mulesoft.connectors</groupId>
  <artifactId>mule-amazon-dynamodb-connector</artifactId>
  <version>n.n.n</version>
  <classifier>mule-plugin</classifier>
</dependency>
```

Replace `n.n.n` with the version that corresponds to the connector you are using.

To obtain the most up-to-date `pom.xml` file information:

1.  Go to [Anypoint Exchange](https://www.mulesoft.com/exchange/).

2.  In Exchange, click **Login** and supply your Anypoint Platform username and password.

3.  In Exchange, search for `amazon dynamodb`.

4.  Select the connector.

5.  Click **Dependency Snippets** near the upper right of the screen.

## Next Step

After creating your namespace and `pom.xml` file, you can try the
[Examples](https://docs.mulesoft.com/amazon-dynamodb-connector/latest/amazon-dynamodb-connector-examples).
