Toolkit for FpML Processing

Efficient code for manipulating FpML 

Available in both Java and C# this toolkit comprises a collection of classes designed to simplify the processing of FpML documents.

The HandCoded Toolkit is the fastest available implementation of the FpML business rules. It supports all published versions of FpML simultaneously with the same code.

In order to encourage common standards across the finance industry the core of our toolkit is available as open source. A functionally richer version commercial version is also available with support.

Included

The commerical toolkit is charged on an application instance basis (e.g. you pay once for every web based application you deploy that contains the toolkit). There is no charge for developer copies.

HandCoded can also provide implementation assistance on a daily T&M basis at reasonable rates.

Why Native Code?

We choose to write the rules directly in Java and C# to make them easy to maintain or extend and extremely efficient to execute. Our code uses standard APIs that are familiar to all Java and C# programmers. This also makes is easy to integrate our code into your application.

We do not use interpreted technologies like XPath, XQuery or custom 'business rule languages' because they adversely affect performance, do not allow multiple FpML schemas to be supported simultaneously and often cannot express complicated business rules.

Under Development

Features in the pipeline

We are continuously looking for new features to improve and extend our software. A future release of the full toolkit will include

- Tools to speed FpML product creation

- Prebuild execution logic for business processes

- Matching and reconciliation engines
