Why we included this project

Alexa skills are essentially JSON in and JSON out, and this official Java SDK sits between your code and that exchange. It maps incoming requests to typed model classes and gives you intent handlers to write against, so you spend your time on skill logic rather than parsing and serializing payloads by hand. The modular build covers the hosting options you'll actually use, with adapters for AWS Lambda and servlets, a DynamoDB persistence adapter for session state, and an Apache HTTP client, plus support for dialog management, account linking, and audio playback. For teams already on the JVM, this is the most direct route to a production skill, and the bundled samples go from a minimal hello-world up to multi-turn dialogs.
