'''Plain Old XML''' (POX) is a term used to describe basic [[XML]], sometimes mixed in with other, blendable specifications like [[XML namespace|XML Namespaces]], [[Dublin Core]], [[XInclude]] and [[XLink]]. People typically use the term as a contrast 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]].
