COMPARISONS TO QUICKFIX
QuickFIX/n is a .NET port of QuickFIX, an open source C++ FIX engine.
We love QuickFIX. We have been contributors nearly since its conception and use it heavily in our products and consulting.
The goal of QuickFIX/n is to create an open source FIX engine that feels native to C#. The (C++) QuickFIX project maintains a C# wrapper which has been used successfully in .NET for many years, but it results in code that is not idiomatic of .NET development. QuickFIX/n attempts to keep the same robustness and conformance of QuickFIX with a similar API while bringing native performance and idiomatic usage to .NET.
For Java development, please visit the excellent QuickFIX/J.
QuickFIX/n uses the QuickFIX name with the full backing and support of QuickFIX and its creator Oren Miller.

Credits
Thanks to Oren Miller, the creator of QuickFIX, who imbued the FIX world
with a reference implementation of FIX when it desperately needed it, and who generously supported our efforts to bring his ideas to a native .NET implementation. This project would have taken significantly longer and launched with significantly more bugs had we not been able to copy the hundreds of acceptance tests that ship with his original QuickFIX
project.
Thanks to Jim Downs, CEO of Connamara Systems, who took our baby project into his company and gave it a final push into reality.
