Can anyone recommend .NET APIs for SWIFT message parsing and provide pros/cons?

Something like this http://www.anasys.com/products/messageobjects/ which I found so far.

Thanks for any replies.

We ended up with writing our own. There were several reasons for that:

  • original SWIFT messages are fixed width and well documented, which makes them easy to handle
  • new SWIFT messages are XML based, even easier to handle
  • we needed only to parse and produce several message types
  • we could fit it into our integration framework

So, in my opinion it really depends how many different message types you need to handle. If only a handful - it would not take much to code own parser.
