Handling XML in ConTeXt has improved dramatically with the advent of MkIV. A new infrastructure, based on Lua, makes typesetting, manipulating, filtering, and reusing XML much much easier than before. Unfortunately, this means that most of the existing documentation is now obsolete. In general, the "old" MkII code uses upper-case XML in its commands, the new MkIV code uses lower-case xml.

Documents about XML in MkIV

General Information

Dealing with XML in ConTEXt MkIV: the official manual that explains everything. Too hard to be a good starting point (unless you excel at XPath).
MathML in MkIV: also official document to math typesetting with XML sources.
TEI XMLl: example of TEI--encoded source typeset with ConTeXt.
DocBook: example of how to typeset DocBook sources with help of a ConTeXt module.
Formatting XML Objects: not (yet?) available for MkIV.
Verbatim in XML: how to typeset XML sources verbatim in final text.
Processing XML tables as Extreme Tables: example about XML tables as ConTeXt tables (extreme or natural).
XHTML in MkIV: link not (yet?) available.
Processing of Ctx XML files

Processing XML with lua

XML in Lua (manipulating XML in Lua)

XHTML in MKIV

Thomas' MyWay on processing XHTML with MKIV: link not (yet?) available.

-If you want to get more from your code than just a PDF (or DVI) output, e.g. HTML or if you need a good typesetting machine for your XML code, you're right with ConTeXt.
