REST vs POX -- see Talk
Line 4:
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.
 
POX is different from [[REST]] in that REST refers to a style for communication protocols, while POX only refers to an information format style. REST could be seen as POX over [[HTTP]] with some peculiarities.
 
The primary competitors to POX are [[JSON]]-derivatives that don't utilize XML.
