FullFIX

Platform: Linux
Licence: BSD 3-clause
Status: Alpha release

FullFIX is a library for parsing Financial Information eXchange (FIX) messages. The main goal of the project is to produce the fastest software solution for FIX protocol. The library is written entirely in C for better portability. The parser depends on libc only and it does not impose any I/O or threading model. Unlike some other well known solutions, in this parser the FIX specification gets converted to efficient C code at compile time to achieve the best performance.

Supported FIX protocol versions: up to and including version 4.4.

Performance

The numbers below have been achieved on my 5 years old laptop with Core i5-430M 2.25GHz processor. On modern production hardware the results will probably be better.

Compiler: gcc (Ubuntu 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04) 4.8.4

OS: Linux Mint 17.2 64bit

FIX message type FIX specification Validation Average time to parse one message
NewOrderSingle('D') Hand-coded spec. for this message only No 0.317 µs/msg
NewOrderSingle('D') Hand-coded spec. for this message only Yes 0.559 µs/msg
NewOrderSingle('D') Compiled full spec. for FIX.4.4 Yes 0.756 µs/msg
MarketDataIncrementalRefresh('X') Hand-coded spec. for this message only Yes 1.199 µs/msg
MarketDataIncrementalRefresh('X') Compiled full spec. for FIX.4.4 Yes 1.398 µs/msg
