which XML processing Lua engine is used by ConTeXt?
There are more XML processors developed for Lua - LuaXML, LuaExpat etc.
Does ConTeXt use one of these or another, or its own - a built-in one?
As I'm processing XML tables with pure Lua, too, I'd like to use only
one engine in pure Lua scripts and within ConTeXt;
I believe it could be possible.
Hans can give the authoritative answer, of course, but if you look into
http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/mk.pdf , chapter XVII, you
will see that he has indeed written his own parser, based on lpeg, and
not used any of the lua libraries (I'm not a programmer, so take my word
with a ton of salt, but I had a look at them and found them truly awful,
compared to what, e.g., python and perl have to offer).
