Is there more to than you thought?
In this week's episode of , Chris Lees takes a look at the different layers that make up FIX, peeling the FIX onion to highlight some of the component blocks that you might not be aware of.
Walking through a diagram from the FIX Trading Community, Chris Lees outlines the 4 layers:
Application - Messages constructed from tags from FIX 4.2, FIX 4.4 or FIX Latest.
Encoding - How the tags and values are assembled into a payload on the wire.
Session - How FIX sessions are created and maintained.
Transport - How messages physically move from one party to another.
By understanding these layers, we hope to broaden your horizon and let you identify opportunities to quickly re-use existing FIX constructs in your firm rather than re-inventing the wheel.
For example, could you use FIX JSON to represent objects internally within your system rather than something custom?
