Fix8 is the fastest C++ Open Source FIX framework. For the same message, Fix8 encodes 2.8 times faster and decodes 1.6 times faster averaging 2 times over Quickfix. In other words, reduces encode latency by 64% and reduces decode latency by 36%. See Performance.
Fix8 contains a built-in unit test framework. We are continually adding and revising our test cases. You can add your own. Fix8 also has a metadata driven test harness that can be scripted to support captured or canned data playback.
Fix8 supports standard FIX4.X to FIX5.X and FIXT1.X. If you have a custom FIX variant Fix8 can use that too. New FIX versions will be supported.
Fix8 helps you get your FIX client or server up and running quickly. Using one of the standard FIX schemas you can have a FIX client or server up and running in next to no time.
Fix8 runs under industry standard Linux on IA32, x86-64, Itanium, PowerPC and ARM. Other *NIX variants may work too.
Fix8 statically supports nested components and repeating groups to any depth. The Fix8 compiler and runtime library take the pain out of using repeating groups.
Fix8 is fast. On typical hardware, client NewOrderSingle encode latency is now 2.7µs, and ExecutionReport decode 6.6µs. Without the framework overhead, NewOrderSingle encode latency is 1.9µs. We are continually improving this. See Performance.
Fix8 supports field and value domain validation, mandatory/optional field assertion, field ordering, well-formedness testing, retransmission and standard session semantics.
Fix8 is a complete C++ FIX framework, including client/server session and connection classes; support for the standard FIX field types; FIX printer, async logger, async message persister and XML configuration classes. If you have special requirements Fix8 can easily be extended and customised.
