    Fix8 is a cross-platform free and open-source software framework that implements the Financial Information eXchange (FIX) protocol.[2]

    It runs on Linux (IA32, x86-64, Itanium, PowerPC and ARMv7 architectures) as well as on MacOS and Microsoft Windows 32/64 platforms.

    The framework is under active development and is maintained by David Dight.[3][4]

    Features[edit]

    Fix8 is an example of an ultra low latency framework implemented in C++.[5][6][7]

    According to the authors, it is one of the fastest implementations of FIX protocol[citation needed] and is often used to benchmark other FIX frameworks.[8][9]

    It supports FIX4.x to FIX5.x and FIXT1.x standards[10] as well as custom FIX variants, field and value domain validation, mandatory/optional field assertion, field ordering, well-formedness testing, retransmission and standard session semantics.

    Other features include a built-in unit test framework and a metadata driven test harness that can be scripted to support captured or canned data playback.

    Architecture[edit]

    Fix8 usage

    Fix8 is composed of two main parts:

    • f8c compiler
    • runtime library

    The f8c compiler is used to generate C++ source and header files from either supplied or user provided XML schema. Generated files are then used together with the runtime library to create a finished application.

    The framework also provides f8test as an example of FIX client and server that can be used to connect user applications for testing.[11]

    Fix8 requires the following open source components:

    ... and optionally

    Examples[edit]

    The following example demonstrates setting up and connecting a client:

    // f8 headers
    #include <fix8/f8includes.hpp>
    // f8c compiler generated headers
    #include "gen_types.hpp"
    #include "gen_router.hpp"
    #include "gen_classes.hpp"
    using namespace std;
    unique_ptr<FIX8::ClientSessionBase> mc;
    
    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
    ...
        mc.reset(new FIX8::ReliableClientSession<hf_session_client>(FIX8::TEX::ctx(), conf_file, "TEST"));
        mc->session_ptr()->control() |= FIX8::Session::print;
        mc->start(false, next_send, next_receive);
    ...
    }
    

    The following example demonstrates creating and sending a NewOrderSingle ("D") message:

    bool Application::new_order_single()
    {
       static unsigned oid(0);
       ostringstream oistr;
       oistr << "ord" << ++oid;
    
       FIX8::TEX::NewOrderSingle *nos(new FIX8::TEX::NewOrderSingle);
       *nos  << new FIX8::TEX::TransactTime
             << new FIX8::TEX::OrderQty(10000))
             << new FIX8::TEX::Price(10.3)
             << new FIX8::TEX::ClOrdID(oistr.str())
             << new FIX8::TEX::Symbol("BHP")
             << new FIX8::TEX::OrdType(FIX8::TEX::OrdType_LIMIT)
             << new FIX8::TEX::Side(FIX8::TEX::Side_BUY)
             << new FIX8::TEX::TimeInForce(FIX8::TEX::TimeInForce_FILL_OR_KILL);
     
       mc->session_ptr()->send(nos);
       return true;
    }
