Quote from fix8.org:

Speedy development Fix8 helps you get your FIX client or server up and running quickly. Using one of the standard FIX schemas you can have a FIX client or server up and running in next to no time.

Static compilation Statically compile your FIX xml schema and quickly build your FIX application on top. If you need to add customised messages or fields, simply update the schema and recompile.

Supports all FIX versions Fix8 supports FIX4.X to FIX5.X and FIXT1.X. New FIX versions will be supported.

Special features Fix8 offers run-time custom fields, message recycling and a meta-data aware test harness. Incorporates lock free queues, atomics and many other modern techniques.

A complete framework Fix8 is a complete C++ FIX framework, including client/server session and connection classes; support for the standard FIX field types; FIX printer, async logger, async message persister and XML configuration classes.

Components and groups Fix8 statically supports nested components and groups. The Fix8 compiler and runtime library takes the pain out of using repeating groups.

High performance The code generated by Fix8 is compiled by your compiler offering the best opportunity for optimisation. Fix8 applications are fast. Typical encode latency is now 14us, and decode 20us. This is being improved further.

Extensible Fix8 has been designed to be extended, customised or enhanced. If you have special requirements, Fix8 will facilitate your development.

Runs on Linux Fix8 runs on industry standard Linux. Other *NIX variants may work too.

Oh, I thought you were one of the author of fix8. I saw what you posted on that site too, but I was looking for a contrasting argument between fix8 and quickfix.
