Fix8 is an open source (LGPL^[2]) messaging engine for the FIX protocol written in C++ ^[3]^[4]^[5]. The framework runs on Intel hardware on Linux. According to the authors, support for Windows is not planned^[5].

Overview[edit]

Fix8 is comprised of two main components: the compiler and the runtime library. The compiler converts FIX XML schemas into C++ code. Users incorporate the generated code into their application and then link against the Fix8 runtime library, which provides session management, persistence, logging and other services.

Performance[edit]

The authors claim that Fix8 is a high performance framework although these claims have not been independently verified. The Fix8 website does publish performance statistics including their methodology and supporting scripts permitting independent comparison^[6].
