How to convert AWS SDK JavaScript code to Rust
- Add your codePaste it into the AWS SDK (JS/TS) editor, drag in a file, or keep the sample to see how it works.
- Convert to RustClick the button or press Ctrl + Enter. The result streams into the right-hand editor.
- Review and use itCopy or download the result, then test it before you rely on it. AI output is a strong first draft, not a guarantee.
How JavaScript AWS SDK code maps to Rusoto
Rusoto gives each AWS service its own crate, such as rusoto_s3 and rusoto_sqs. You create a client for a region, like S3Client::new(Region::EuWest1), and call methods that take a request struct. A JavaScript parameter object such as { Bucket, Prefix } becomes ListObjectsV2Request { bucket, prefix: Some(...), ..Default::default() }, with snake_case field names and Option for optional values.
Every call is async and returns a Result, so the converted code runs inside a Tokio runtime and uses ? or match where the JavaScript used try/catch. Response fields are Options too, so expect unwrap_or_default() or if let Some(...) wherever the JavaScript read a property directly.
Rusoto is in maintenance mode: its maintainers only review dependency updates and small fixes. The official AWS SDK for Rust is generally available and is the better choice for new projects. Its fluent builders (client.list_objects_v2().bucket(b).send().await) differ from Rusoto's request structs, but the service calls and data you work with are the same.
This converter outputs Rusoto code, and Rusoto is in maintenance mode. For new Rust projects, use the official AWS SDK for Rust and use this output to understand which calls and fields you need.
Tips for better results
- Add the right crates. You need
rusoto_coreplus one crate per service in the output, andtokiofor the async runtime, with versions that match each other. - Look at every
unwrap(). Converted code sometimes unwraps optional response fields. Replace them with proper handling before running it against real data. - Set the region explicitly. JavaScript clients often pick up the region from the environment. In Rusoto, pass it to the client constructor, or use
Region::default(), which reads the environment. - Keep inputs small. One function at a time converts more reliably into Rust's stricter types than a whole module.
- Serialize explicitly.
JSON.stringifycalls becomeserde_json::to_string, which needs theserdeandserde_jsoncrates and derived types.
Frequently asked questions
Is Rusoto still maintained?
It's in maintenance mode, so only dependency bumps and small fixes are reviewed. AWS's official SDK for Rust is generally available and recommended for new code.
Can I convert to the official AWS SDK for Rust instead?
This tool targets Rusoto. The official SDK uses the same service operations with a builder-style API, so the converted code is still a useful map of which calls and fields you need when writing the official-SDK version.
Why is the Rust output longer than my JavaScript?
Rust makes optional values, errors and types explicit. Request structs, Option handling and Result propagation add lines, but they also catch mistakes at compile time.
