PeopleThis typically use the term as a contrastcontrasts with complicated, multilayered XML specifications like those for [[web service]]s or [[Resource Description Framework|RDF]]. The term may have been derived from or inspired by the expression [[plain old telephone service]] (a.k.a. POTS) and, similarly [[Plain Old Java Object]] (POJO).

POX is differentcomplementary fromto [[Representational State Transfer|REST]] in that: REST refers to a style for communication protocolspattern, while POX only refers to an information format style.
 
The primary competitors to POX are syntaxmore standardsstrictly defined XML-based information formats such as [[YAMLResource Description Framework|RDF]], and [[JSONSOAP (protocol)|SOAP section 5 encoding]]-derivatives, thatas don'twell utilizeas general non-XML, ininformation additionformats tosuch structuredas protocols[[JSON]] likeand [[SOAPComma-separated values|CSV]].
