'''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 Services]] or [[Resource Description Framework|RDF]]. The term may have been derived from or inspired by the expression [[plain old telephone service]].
An interesting question is how POX relates to [[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.
