# Amazon SQS Connector 5.12 XML and Maven Support

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

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

> [!NOTE] You can avoid the manual process described next by using Studio. When you install Amazon
> SQS Connector in Studio, Studio automatically populates the XML code with the Amazon SQS Connector
> namespace and schema location, and 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/amazon-sqs
http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/amazon-sqs/current/mule-amazon-sqs.xsd
```

This example shows how the namespace statements are placed in the XML:

```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mule xmlns:ee="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/ee/core"
xmlns:http="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/http"
xmlns:sqs="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/sqs"
xmlns="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core"
xmlns:doc="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/documentation"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core
http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core/current/mule.xsd
http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/sqs
http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/sqs/current/mule-sqs.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/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 Anypoint Studio contains dependencies for a Mule app.
If 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-sqs-connector</artifactId>
    <version>x.x.x</version>
    <classifier>mule-plugin</classifier>
</dependency>
```

Replace `x.x.x` 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 sqs`.

4.  Select the connector.

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

## Next Step

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