Overview
The document_client package provides a simplified interface for interacting with Amazon DynamoDB using native Dart types. It abstracts away low-level details, allowing developers to work with items using familiar data structures like maps and lists. Responses are automatically converted into Dart-native types, improving code readability and reducing boilerplate. Designed for seamless integration across multiple platforms, it supports Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux.
