[Quickfix-developers] FIXML Question

[Bernard S. <bsp...@gx...>]

We have been using QuickFix successfully in production for quite some
time now, and we are very pleased with how it works for us.  Recently,
some of our counterparties have asked us about FIXML.  As far as I can
tell from my research, FIXML includes only the message structure, and
does nothing with respect to the delivery and sequencing.  I have seen
many references to the fact that FIXML messages can be delivered using
FIX.  Why would I want to do this?  Does QuickFix support it?  Does
anybody do it?  How else would I deliver such messages?  Are there
advantages (other than easier readability) over the "native" FIX format?
