Here is a trivial example using LuaExpat:
\starttext
\startluacode
require "lxp";
text = '<p>hello world</p>'
callbacks = { EndElement = false,
StartElement = false,
Default = function (p, s) tex.sprint(s) end }
p = lxp.new(callbacks)
\stopluacode
Some xml output: \directlua{p:parse(text)}!.
\directlua{p:close()}
\stoptext
Disclosure: for this test, I copied lxp.so into the local directory
because I am not sure exactly how context mkiv searches for Lua cpath
files.
Best wishes,
Taco
