Re: [Quickfix-developers] FIXML Question

[Joshua C. B. <jo...@xl...>]

Greetings,

A while back, Oren Miller stated this when I initially asked about FIXML:

"No, QuickFIX does not support FIXML and there arn't
any current plans to do so.  FIXML is something
fixprotocol.org has been trying to push to several
years but really it's just not catching on.  It was
proposed during the heady days when XML hype was at
it's peak and everybody was proposing using XML for
all purposes (those days are over... arn't they?)

I really can't think of a major financial institution
that exposes a public FIXML interface.  I know there
are some that use it for internal systems, but really
FIX not only eclipses it with its installed base, but
also eclipses it with its adoption.  FIX proper is
growing faster than ever and I'm just not seeing the
same demand for FIXML.  Now people are also starting
to use FIX for more high frequency things like market
data, where FIXML is just unworkable."

So.. for what it's worth...

Cheers,
Joshua C. Bergeron
