I want to get the value from name and index and show them in the document editor.
I tried using the parser but I was not working.
Is that possible or any other approaches to this?
Did you create a custom XML for this? Attribute values are not extracted by default so you always need t create your own XML filetype if this is what you want. This may help:

yes, I use a custom xml. The particularity was to show the values in the left window in the editor explorer, in a way to identify the file. I used in the end something like this, as structure and mark as not translatable and added a custom structure to show it in the editor explorer but not in the editor window, it work but cant parse or check any conditions to show them, is not very flexible.
<localApplicationData>
<name>test<name/>
<index>14< index/>
</application>
The information you give as to what you have and what you want to do with it is rather sparse, but I understand that you want to use the attribute values to provide context information for the translator?
So your actual file would contain lines like this: <appliVariable name="name" value="test">Translatable text</appliVariable>?
The way forward in these cases is usually that you upload a sample file with all confidential text anonymized. Screenshots are also helpful.
Please do support this idea for displaying more context information with XML files: https://community.sdl.com/ideas/translation-productivity-ideas/i/trados-studio-ideas/enable-more-document-structure-information-when-using-the-embedded-content-processor

So you didn't want to extract these values into the document editor at all, you only wanted to use them for identification? One very simple way to do this is to create a custom preview... might be better than using the navigation pane anyway.

yes, wanted to use the data similar as metadata and display it somewhere , to help the translator identify the file.
yes, to use it as an identifier on the file.
Create a custom preview would involve creating a plugin for it?
No, you don't need to create a plugin. If you don't have embedded HTML in your file, you can use the normal preview function. If you do have embedded HTML (PCDATA or CDATA) it's a bit more tricky.

No, you just need to know how to use xslt. This article may be useful:

It's a bit old, but the principle is all the same.
