SBE is an OSI layer 6 presentation for encoding and decoding binary application messages for low-latency financial applications. This repository contains the reference implementations in Java, C++, and Golang.
Further details on the background and usage of SBE can be found on the Wiki.
An XSD for SBE specs can be found here
For the latest version information and changes see the Change Log with downloads at Maven Central.
This SBE implementation is designed with work very efficiently with the Aeron messaging system for low-latency and high-throughput communications. SBE has a dependency on Agrona for its buffer implementations.

Main source code
sbe-tool/src/main
Unit tests
sbe-tool/src/test
Samples of usage
sbe-samples/src/main
The project is built with Gradle using this build.gradle file.
Full clean build:
$ ./gradlew
Run the Java examples
$ ./gradlew runJavaExamples
Jars for the executable, source, and javadoc for the various modules can be found in
<module>/build/libs
NOTE: Linux, Mac OS, and Windows only for the moment. See FAQ. Windows builds have been tested with Visual Studio Express 12.
First build using Gradle to generate the SBE jar.
$ ./gradlew
For convenience, a script is provided that does a full clean, build, and test of all targets as a Release build.
$ ./cppbuild/cppbuild
If you are comfortable with using CMake, then a full clean, build, and test looks like:
$ mkdir -p cppbuild/Debug
$ cd cppbuild/Debug
$ cmake ../..
$ cmake --build . --clean-first
$ ctest
First build using Gradle to generate the SBE jar and then use it to generate the golang code for testing
$ ./gradlew
$ ./gradlew generateGolangCodecs
For convenience on Linux, a gnu Makefile is provided that runs some tests and containes some examples
$ cd gocode
# make # test, examples, bench
Users of golang generated code should see the user documentation. Developers wishing to enhance the golang generator should see the developer documentation
