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.

• Haml is a meta-XHTML representation, originally implemented for Ruby and has a similar mark-up structure.
