Here is a minor variation on this idea:
#+name: xml-example
#+BEGIN_SRC xml
<note>
<to>Tove</to>
<from>Jani</from>
<heading>Reminder</heading>
<body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
</note>
#+END_SRC
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var name="xml-example"
(save-excursion
(org-babel-goto-named-src-block name)
(let ((data (org-element-property :value (org-element-context))))
(with-temp-buffer (insert data) (libxml-parse-xml-region (point-min)
(point-max)))))
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
| note | nil | (to nil Tove) | (from nil Jani) | (heading nil Reminder)
| (body nil Don't forget me this weekend!) |
