Codecs for SBE v2.0 RC2 (from FIX Trading Community discussions)

Hello,

We’re facing some issues with customers that are struggling to take advantage of RC2 due to lack of RC2 codecs.
Is anyone aware of any timescales to releasing RC2 codec?

@gabrieldumitru are you referring to software for encoding and decoding SBE messages? The SBE utilities made available by FIX in GitHub are here. However, there is only a validator and only for SBE v1.0 messages.

There are a few GitHub projects that provide SBE encoders and decoders, e.g. https://github.com/real-logic/simple-binary-encoding. FIX encourages open-source projects from the user community for tools related to FIX Technical Standards.

Hi @gtcpm

Yes, I was referring to software for encoding/decoding related to SBE v2 messages.

As I understand there is no plan for releasing a v2 RC2 decoder for the time being.
Thank you for the response.

Regards,
Gabriel
