OFX SDK is a .NET 8.0/9.0 implementation of OFX (Open Financial Exchange) file management, such as read, write, parse, import and export to another serializable formats.
The goal of the OFX SDK is to create a level of abstraction to deal with OFX files, offering structured tools to hide some of the complexity needed by the defined standard.
From OFX.net:
Open Financial Exchange is an open standard for client-server systems and cloud based APIs for exchanging financial data, and performing financial transactions between financial institutions, and financial applications. Further, the API allows the exchange to be facilitated either directly or via an intermediary such as data aggregation service providers.
OFX has been the dominant direct API for banks to provide data to financial applications since 1997. It is actively deployed at over 7,000 financial institutions, and the remaining institutions have easy access to certified OFX servers via all major technology providers and systems integrators. More information can be found at: http://ofx.org.
OFX SDK implements the requests and responses defined in the open standard specifications, so the main focus of this context is the file handling and parsing the results of the received .ofx files from the financial institutions, as well the transformation from the source format to Xml and Json. Custom output formats are possible to extend and implement through available interfaces and abstractions.
