The FIX Protocol is extensible by design. It is a common feature of the FIX protocol to customise session messages by adding user-defined fields. However, in real-life, many firms, venues or vendors prefer to make much more significant changes to the messaging specifications. To satisfy these requirements, the OnixS FIX Engine support the concept of FIX dialects.

A FIX dialect represents a customized dictionary of a single FIX messaging specification (or put simply, a FIX variant version) that can be uses engine-wide, or with different FIX Dialects for FIX sessions within the same FIX engine.

The definition of a single FIX dialect is implemented by describing changes to the standard FIX version(s). Dialect customization consists of the ability to expand the set of messages with new messages, to enlarge messages and repeating groups with new fields and subgroups. It is also possible to replace regular fields with repeating groups and vice versa.
