The table on the wiki also includes information related to experience dropped by mining blocks, smelting, completing challenges, etc. See the aforementioned wiki article for more information.
Every hostile mob drops 5 exp. orbs when they are killed. The value of these orbs can is random though. The exception to this is the blaze, which drops 10 exp. A Player gives 7 per level, up to 100.
