I have a question about the FIX transport.
I have learned that I can theoretically use FIX transport for sending other formats.

I wonder that there are any FIX products that allow me to do that, such as create my own message type, specify which fields I want to use, besides the FIX standard format.

Thanks

TransactTools TCM (www.transacttools.net) provides configuration-driven DataDict functionality, which allows you to fully customize the FIX protocol to fit your needs. By modifying the DataDict configuration files provided with TCM (all XML), you may extend the FIX protocol to include new message types, fields, groups and enumerated values.

Also, if you want to be really creative, you may even use FIX as a transport for binary data. In FIX 4.0 - 4.4, tags 95 and 96 (RawDataLength and RawData, respectively) allow you to embed binary data in a FIX message. For example, you could serialize Java objects into a FIX message for communication between two Java-based FIX engines.
