class AWS::SQS

Provides an expressive, object-oriented interface to Amazon SQS.

## Credentials

You can setup default credentials for all AWS services via AWS.config:

AWS.config(
  :access_key_id => 'YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID',
  :secret_access_key => 'YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY')

Or you can set them directly on the SQS interface:

sqs = AWS::SQS.new(
  :access_key_id => 'YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID',
  :secret_access_key => 'YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY')

## Queues and Messages

Amazon SQS is a distributed queue system that enables web service applications to quickly and reliably queue messages that one component in the application generates to be consumed by another component. A queue is a temporary repository for messages that are awaiting processing.

You can access your queues using the {#queues} collection. For example, to create a queue, use {QueueCollection#create}:

queue = sqs.queues.create("myqueue")

Or to find out what queues you have in your account:

pp sqs.queues.collect(&:url)

See the {Queue} class for more information on how to send and receive messages.

@!attribute [r] client

@return [Client] the low-level SQS client object
