It is possible to send XML over HTTP so it would be easier not to make 
any transformation. But if the third party service wants some other 
format than XML and you can't change the format then you need to 
implement the transformation.
To transform XML to text you can use XSLT, it has an output method
   <xsl:output method="text" />
Of course it is also possible to use the DOM to exctract text data from 
an XML document.
With the transformation back you are on your own and need to look at the 
text parsing tools your favourite programming language/toolkit provides.
