An example of a document produced by this specification appears below:

Objects can also be nested within other objects, for example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <spec> <collection name="accounts"> <item name="accountid" /> <item name="name" /> <item name="description" /> <object name="owninguser"> <object name="..."> <item name="..." /> </object> <item name="employeeid" /> <item name="fullname" /> </object> </collection> </spec>
