Line 2: '''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]]. 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 the latter refers to a style for communication protocols, while the former only refers to an information format style. REST could be seen as POX over [[HTTP]] with some peculiarities.
