ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

POSXML

POSXML is like a special language that helps cash registers, scanners, and other things at a store talk to each other. It's kind of like a secret code that only they can understand.

When you go to the store and the cashier rings up your items, the register uses POSXML to send information about what you bought to the store's computer system. It tells the computer how much each item costs, how many you bought, and how much you need to pay.

This helps the store keep track of what they have in stock, what they need to order more of, and how much money they made. It's like a big puzzle, and POSXML helps all the pieces fit together.

So, next time you're at the store and someone is scanning your items, remember that they're talking to each other in a special language called POSXML.
