Simple Outline XML
Simple Outline XML (SOX) is a compressed way of writing XML.
SOX uses indenting to represent the structure of an XML document, eliminating the need for closing tags.
Example
The following XHTML markup fragment:
A very brief page
... would appear in SOX as:
html>
xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
head>
title> Sample page
body>
p> A very brief page
SOX can be readily converted to XML.
