An interesting question is how POX relates to [[XML Schema (W3C)|XML Schema]]. On the one hand, POX is completely compatible with XML Schema. However, many POX users eschew XML Schema to avoid the poor or inconsistent quality of XML Schema-to-Java tools.{{Fact|date=January 2009}}

POX is complementary to [[Representational State Transfer|REST]]: REST refers to a communication pattern, while POX refers to an information format style.

The primary competitors to POX are more strictly- defined XML-based information formats such as [[Resource Description Framework|RDF]] and [[SOAP (protocol)|SOAP section 5 encoding]], as well as general non-XML information formats such as [[JSON]] and [[Comma-separated values|CSV]].
