Iterator-based APIs

[swinbank]

From the readme:

a problem remains in that STL types dominate the public interface (primarily string parameters to the model object initialize/set methods). As it currently stands, developers that forgo STL entirely (rolling their own strings/containers/etc...) are forced to create many temporaries...

Should I be worried that you're not using the canonical C++ technique for working with generic strings and containers? The standard algorithms library is the perfect reference. The Boost String Algorithms library is another one.

At any rate, I am happy to finally see any kind of native API for AWS.

This isn't quite true anymore, check one of the model header files for
dynamodb or something and see if that works for you.

char*).

The dynamodb stuff looks good, although many of the core types used in it, like AWSCredentials and the HTTP classes, still use Aws::String quite a bit.

I should mention that this doesn't actually affect me, since my own string class interoperates with std::string, but I figured I would go ahead and raise the issue since most C++ developers are used to working with iterators and templates.
