Simple Binary Encoding (SBE)

Javadocs GitHub

Actions Status Total Alerts Code Quality: Java

SBE is an OSI layer 6 presentation for encoding and decoding binary application messages for low-latency financial applications. This repository contains the reference implementations in Java, C++, Golang, and C#.

More details on the design and usage of SBE can be found on the Wiki.

An XSD for SBE specs can be found here. Please address questions about the specification to the SBE FIX community.

For the latest version information and changes see the Change Log with downloads at Maven Central.

The Java and C++ SBE implementations work very efficiently with the Aeron messaging system for low-latency and high-throughput communications. The Java SBE implementation has a dependency on Agrona for its buffer implementations.

Binaries

Binaries and dependency information for Maven, Ivy, Gradle, and others can be found at http://search.maven.org.

Example for Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>uk.co.real-logic</groupId>
    <artifactId>sbe-all</artifactId>
    <version>1.20.3</version>
</dependency>

Build

Build the project with Gradle using this build.gradle file.

Full clean build:

$ ./gradlew

Run the Java examples

$ ./gradlew runJavaExamples

Distribution

Jars for the executable, source, and javadoc for the various modules can be found in the following directories:

sbe-benchmarks/build/libs
sbe-samples/build/libs
sbe-tool/build/libs
sbe-all/build/libs

An example to execute a Jar from command line using the 'all' jar which includes the Agrona dependency:

java -Dsbe.generate.ir=true -Dsbe.target.language=Cpp -Dsbe.target.namespace=sbe -Dsbe.output.dir=include/gen -Dsbe.errorLog=yes -jar sbe-all/build/libs/sbe-all-${SBE_LIB_VERSION}.jar my-sbe-messages.xml

C++ Build using CMake

NOTE: Linux, Mac OS, and Windows only for the moment. See FAQ. Windows builds have been tested with Visual Studio Express 12.

For convenience, the cppbuild script does a full clean, build, and test of all targets as a Release build.

$ ./cppbuild/cppbuild

If you are comfortable using CMake, then a full clean, build, and test looks like:

$ mkdir -p cppbuild/Debug
$ cd cppbuild/Debug
$ cmake ../..
$ cmake --build . --clean-first
$ ctest

Note: The C++ build includes the C generator. Currently, the C generator is a work in progress.

Golang Build

First build using Gradle to generate the SBE jar and then use it to generate the golang code for testing.

$ ./gradlew
$ ./gradlew generateGolangCodecs

For convenience on Linux, a gnu Makefile is provided that runs some tests and contains some examples.

$ cd gocode
# make # test, examples, bench

Users of golang generated code should see the user documentation.

Developers wishing to enhance the golang generator should see the developer documentation

C# Build

Users of CSharp generated code should see the user documentation.

Developers wishing to enhance the CSharp generator should see the developer documentation
