This project contains specifications and resources for Simple Binary Encoding (SBE). SBE is a FIX standard for binary message encoding.
For a fuller explanation, see FIX Simple Binary Encoding.
SBE is part of a family of protocols created by the High Performance Working Group of the FIX Trading Community. SBE is a presentation layer protocol (layer 6).
Version 1.0 RC3 was approved by the Global Technical Committee in December 2014. The RC3 specification is included here for reference only. Pull requests for this version will not be accepted.
A baseline for version 1.0 RC4 has been posted. The working group encourages users to submit issues for error corrections and enhancements. The working group will consider pull requests for changes to the working draft. If significant changes are accepted by the working group, then RC4 will be published as a new release candidate for public review. Otherwise, RC3 may be promoted to the final draft of SBE version 1.0.
RC3 and previous versions of SBE, as well as other FIX high performance protocols, are available as MS Word documents at High Performance Specifications.
