Unified Scripture XML (USX) is an XML format used for encoding the digital text for scripture translations. The structure, elements, and attributes are derived significantly from the close association USX has with USFM (Unified Standard Format Markers), an older alternative markup scheme for scripture still in widespread use. The largest collection of USX encoded scripture is currently found within the Digital Bible Library.
