How to deploy process.xml to a standalone camunda through restapi?

Lets say I have this process.xml, is there a restapi to deploy this to standalone camunda?

<process-application
  xmlns="http://www.camunda.org/schema/1.0/ProcessApplication"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

  <process-archive name="loan-approval">
    <process-engine>default</process-engine>
    <properties>
      <property name="isDeleteUponUndeploy">false</property>
      <property name="isScanForProcessDefinitions">true</property>
    </properties>
  </process-archive>

</process-application>

@Minisha_M, it is not clear, what are you going to achieve. Please explain your intention and give more context to understand your problem.

@Minisha_M process.xml file should be part of process application itself.

Like how? can you explain. I have a bpmn file. you mean have to copy the process.xml content to bmpn?

@Minisha_M The processes.xml file is deployed as part of a process application and is used for configuration of the deployment of BPMN 2.0 resource files. Additionally, it can be used to configure process engines which are started / stopped with the deployment of the application.

Refer the below example:
