Quickfix Status

Hello All,

Is Quickfix still relevant today? Has it been supplanted by another open-source FIX engine?

1. The forum is throwing an error.
2. The documentation site is 404
3. For the most part, Github repo has not been updated in about 3 years.

It doesn't seem to be a healthy, thriving project.

Four people have pointed me to Quickfix, but I'm not getting a good feeling about this. The only other option seems to be fix8, which is not entirely open-source; it is a tiered service offering where only the basic service is free:
https://github.com/fix8/fix8

Sincerely,
Keith

I've used an implementation of QuickFIX/J for close to a couple of years. The developer actively responds to questions. Support is what you would expect for something that is free, but he does respond. http://www.quickfixj.org/ and https://github.com/quickfix-j/quickfixj
