Depends on what you want to achieve. You can use the microformats

You could use XML, but only if you had real reason to, if your
using XML for the sole purpose to add semantic meaning to your
products i wouldn't bother with it. You can add just as much
semantic meaning using Classes. Example:
<div class="bookshelf">
<p class="title">Harry Potter</p>
<p class="author">Some Author (I really dont know :P)</p>
</div>
If you are going to create a centralized service based around your
e-commerce site and plan to create your own software, widgets,
toolbars and stuff then XML might be a better option, but before
you use XML you would need a reason to in the first place.
Hi James, I am curious as to the 'but before you use XML you would
need a reason to in the first place' comment. What kind of reason it
have to be?
I am asking this because I was exploring the Foxycart script with
Modx CMS for one of my site. Foxycart people said that JSON/XML data
feed prevents duplication of data. I really love what I have learned
and have implemented (with TVs in Modx) so far, however the monthly
fee and the launche date of Open Source Magento kind of put me in
limbo with the Foxycart.
