In a second-level DFD for an ecommerce website(buying product) focusing on the shopping cart
functionality, we can elaborate on processes related to adding items to the cart, editing the cart, and
proceeding to checkout. Here's a breakdown:

User: Represents the individual interacting with the ecommerce website.

Add to Cart: This process allows users to add products to their shopping cart. It takes input from the
user, such as selecting a product and specifying quantity, and updates the cart by adding the selected
items.
Products: Represents individual items available for purchase on the ecommerce platform. This entity
contains information such as product name, description, price, availability, etc.
Edit Cart: This process enables users to modify the contents of their shopping cart. It allows actions
such as changing the quantity of items, removing products, or updating item options (e.g., size or
color). The process takes input from the user indicating the desired changes and updates the cart
accordingly.
Check Out: This process facilitates the completion of the purchase by guiding users through the
checkout process. It involves collecting necessary information from the user, such as shipping address,
payment method, and order review. Once the user confirms the details, the process finalizes the order
and initiates payment processing and order fulfillment.
These processes collaborate to provide users with a seamless shopping experience, allowing them to
add, modify, and review items in their shopping cart before proceeding to checkout.

Creating an E-commerce app requires a robust technology stack to ensure scalability, performance, and a
seamless user experience.

On the frontend, leverage popular frameworks like React for building responsive and dynamic user interfaces.
Implement a well-designed and intuitive user interface to mirror Myntra's user experience. For the backend,
consider using a reliable server-side framework such as Node.js or Django, coupled with a scalable database
like MongoDB or MySQL to handle user data, product information, and transactions. Utilize RESTful APIs
to facilitate communication between the server and the client-side application.

Frontend Technology Stack:

The frontend of the e-commerce website is built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. These technologies are
chosen for their compatibility, ease of use, and ability to create interactive and responsive web pages.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language): HTML is the standard markup language used to create the structure
of web pages. It provides the basic framework upon which the rest of the frontend is built. Key features of
HTML include:

36
 • Structure: Organizes content using elements like headings, paragraphs, lists, and tables.
• Forms: Facilitates user input through elements such as text fields, checkboxes, and buttons.
• Semantic Tags: Enhances accessibility and SEO by using tags like <article>, <section>, and <nav>.

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets): CSS is used to style and layout web pages. It allows for the separation of
content and design, making it easier to maintain and update the website’s appearance. Key features of CSS
include:

• Styling: Controls the appearance of HTML elements, including colors, fonts, and spacing.
• Layout: Creates complex layouts using techniques like Flexbox and Grid.
• Responsive Design: Ensures the website looks good on all devices by using media queries to adjust
styles based on screen size.

JavaScript: JavaScript is a programming language used to create interactive and dynamic web pages. It
enhances user experience by allowing real-time updates and interactions without reloading the page. Key
features of JavaScript include:

• DOM Manipulation: Dynamically changes the content and structure of the web page.
• Event Handling: Responds to user actions such as clicks, mouse movements, and key presses.
• AJAX: Allows for asynchronous data retrieval from the server, enabling smoother and faster
interactions.
