[Quickfix-developers] FIX Engine APIs - any standardisation?

[Alex H. <al...@an...>]

Hi,

A general FIX question really:

Are the C++ & Java APIs for the various FIX engines all different, or is
there some kind of common base functionality? 

e.g. I'm currently using a lot of CORBA functionality, and although the
various ORBs differ they have a lot of APIs in common.

I guess if the various FIX engines APIs are different then it makes
choosing the right FIX engine crucial as one won't be able to change
over easily later.

Cheers,
Alex.
