    Michiel van Otegem demonstrates how to build a simple, portable and highly extensible shopping cart using XML and XSLT: product data and per-user baskets are represented as XML, XSLT templates handle display, adding and updating items, and transformations enable platform- and client-specific rendering. By placing logic in XSLT (server-side for broad compatibility) the system gains cross-platform portability, easy handling of evolving product attributes, and reusable processing for totals, payments and multiple output formats.

    In this article, Simon Ferguson explains XSL patterns as a powerful, simplified subset of XPath used to query and manipulate XML documents. He highlights how XSL patterns function similarly to SQL Select statements by allowing precise selection, filtering, and transformation of XML nodes. Through examples and explanations of syntax, Ferguson demonstrates how understanding and using these patterns enable efficient extraction and restructuring of XML data, making them essential for working with XSL stylesheets and advanced XML querying tasks.
