The MFSBE4 API is founded on the Simple Binary Encoding (SBE) protocol using a simple primitive encoding, and is optimized for low bandwidth, low latency and direct data access.

Getting Started

For optimal performance, a tool such as Real-Logic's  SBE tool should be used against the MFSBE4 Message Schema to generate compilable stubs to support the direct encoding or decoding of messages in the client application.

A simple sample program is also provided, illustrating:

• Usage of the generated stubs,
• Zero-GC, single threaded implementation model.
