Open Source FIX Protocol library implemented in Go

• User Manual
• API Documentation

To install QuickFIX/Go, use go get:

go get github.com/quickfixgo/quickfix

To update QuickFIX/Go to the latest version, use go get -u github.com/quickfixgo/quickfix.

See examples for some simple examples of using QuickFIX/Go.

QuickFIX/Go includes separate packages for tags, fields, enums, messages, and message components generated from the FIX 4.0 - FIX5.0SP2 specs. See:

• github.com/quickfixgo/tag
• github.com/quickfixgo/field
• github.com/quickfixgo/enum
• github.com/quickfixgo/fix40
• github.com/quickfixgo/fix41
• github.com/quickfixgo/fix42
• github.com/quickfixgo/fix43
• github.com/quickfixgo/fix44
• github.com/quickfixgo/fix50
• github.com/quickfixgo/fix50sp1
• github.com/quickfixgo/fix50sp2
• github.com/quickfixgo/fixt11

For most FIX applications, these generated resources are sufficient. Custom FIX applications may generate source specific to the FIX spec of that application using the generate-fix tool included with QuickFIX/Go.

Following installation, generate-fix is installed to $GOPATH/bin/generate-fix. Run $GOPATH/bin/generate-fix --help for usage instructions.

If you wish to work on QuickFIX/Go itself, you will need Docker and VSCode on your machine.

• Clone the repo and open it with VSCode with Docker running
• This repo comes with vscode devcontainer configs in ./.devcontainer/
• Click the pop-up to re-open the project in the Dev Container
• This opens the project in a docker container pre-configured with everything you need

As of Go version 1.13, QuickFIX/Go uses modules to manage dependencies. You may require GO111MODULE=on. To install dependencies, run

go mod download

Note: No vendored dependencies are included in the QuickFIX/Go source.

The default make target runs go vet and unit tests.

make

If this exits with exit status 0, then everything is working!

Generated code from the FIX40-FIX50SP2 specs are available as separate repos under the QuickFIX/Go organization. The source specifications for this generated code is located in spec/. Generated code can be identified by the .generated.go suffix. Any changes to generated code must be captured by changes to source in cmd/generate-fix. After making changes to the code generator source, run the following to re-generate the source

make generate

If you are making changes to the generated code, please create Pull Requests for these changes for the affected repos.

QuickFIX/Go has a comprehensive acceptance test suite covering the FIX protocol. These are the same tests used across all QuickFIX implementations.

QuickFIX/Go acceptance tests depend on ruby in path, if you are using the dev container, it is already installed

To run acceptance tests,

# generate code locally
make generate

# build acceptance test rig
make build-test-srv

# run acceptance tests
make accept

If you are developing QuickFIX/Go, there are a few tasks you might need to perform related to dependencies.

If you are adding or updating a dependency, you will need to update the go.mod and go.sum in the same Pull Request as the code that depends on it. You should do this in a separate commit from your code, as this makes PR review easier and Git history simpler to read in the future.

1. Add or update the dependency like usual:

go get -u github.com/foo/bar

2. Update the module-related files:

go mod tidy

3. Review the changes in git and commit them.

Note that to specify a specific revision, you can manually edit the go.mod file and run go mod tidy
