Hi,
Are there any sample programms to feed standard Fix 4.1 Emails messages to and get back xml document out or would I just have to implement it?

I am somewhat new to xml but reading through documentation these are the steps to role my own parser:

  1. read the tags & values and do straight fix-tag to xml-tag mapping with all the beging and ending xml tags replacing the fix-tag=value

  2. defind a dtd for email messages ( or use 4.1 fixml specs dtd) for validation and checking formatting.

does this sound right or is their a parser out their to help me out?

Hi John

Do you still need a solution?

We have such a parser/converter/builder for FIX to XML.

Our background is XML research at ETH Zurich and general EAI/STP. The solution is Java based and contains a rules engine that allows you to transform the FIX message into a different XML document depending on your needs/DTDs.
