All feedback regarding this version of FIXimate should be directed to the FIXimate Enhancements discussion forum.
FIXimate provides the capability of viewing all versions of FIX in an interactive browser based environment. Users can view messages, components, fields, and datatypes.
FIXimate was created in Summer 2000 by Zosta Zenelis, Denis McConalogue, and Peter White. The name stands for FIX interactive message and tag explorer Tool. Peter was serving as the Co-chair of the FIX Global Technical Committee at that time. FIXimate arose out of a desire to be able to access and navigate the FIX specification faster. FIXimate was donated to FPL so that it could be supported, maintained, and enhanced by the organization going forward.
Kevin Houstoun assumed maintenance and created the second version of FIXimate during the release of FIX 4.4. Kevin pioneered and donated the FIX Repository as part of the effort to release FIX 4.4. Kevin also created repository versions for FIX version 4.0 - 4.3. Kevin rewrote the FIXimate to be generated from the FIX Repository. At that time Kevin also converted the generation code and output to comply with W3C Internet standards, such as XSLT and XML. Jim N enhanced FIXimate v2.0 during FIX.5.0SP1 development by adding additional tables and a QA version.
