XML parser and XML processor are the same. It is not applied to another languages. XML is universal data markup language. And parsing XML file already means processing it.

And on another hand processing of XML file means feed up some XML application. Nothing except parsing is not need for it.

Look https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML#Key_terminology

UPD: If you assume "parsing" is syntactic analyzing then it is a "processing". Because XML statements do not make sense by themselves.
