Are XML parser and XML processor are two different things? Do they two different jobs?
In PHP there are two major types of XML parsers: Tree-Based Parsers. Event-Based Parsers.
Definition. XML parsing is the process of reading an XML document and providing an interface to the user application for accessing the document. An XML parser is a software apparatus that accomplishes such tasks.
An XML parser is a software library or package that provides interfaces for client applications to work with an XML document. The XML Parser is designed to read the XML and create a way for programs to use XML. XML parser validates the document and check that the document is well formatted.
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.
