FIX Engine and Scala: alternative to QuickfixJ?

Pretty generic question, I know, but after a google search I could find any "definitive" answer, so here I am asking.

Using Scala, what alternative do I have when it comes to FIX protocol?

In Java, I worked with QuickfixJ before, but I was wondering if there were any "native" alternatives? Or, worst case scenario some QuickFixJ DSLs or "overlays" for Scala?

Thanks all

Solution

  • QuickFIX/J will work perfectly well from Scala.
    Failing that, it's not particularly difficult to write your own implementation of the protocol, which also has the nice benefit of minimising the impedance mismatch between your FIX engine and the rest of your application.
