Hi Ganesh,

Please use below code for xml parsing:-
  
Map < String, String > mapCustomer = new Map < String, String >();
String endpoint = 'http://www.thomas-bayer.com/sqlrest/CUSTOMER/1/';
HTTP h = new HTTP();
HTTPRequest req = new HTTPRequest();
req.setEndPoint(endpoint);
req.setMethod('GET');
HTTPResponse res = h.send(req);
Dom.Document doc = res.getBodyDocument();
Dom.XMLNode customer = doc.getRootElement();
for(Dom.XMLNode child : customer.getChildElements()) {
       mapCustomer.put(child.getName(), child.getText());
}
system.debug(mapCustomer);

if you need any assistanse, Please let me know!!

Kindly mark my solution as the best answer if it helps you.

        // If the request is successful, parse the JSON response.
        if (response.getStatusCode() == 200) {
            // Deserializes the JSON string into collections of primitive data types.
            Map<String, Object> results = (Map<String, Object>) JSON.deserializeUntyped(response.getBody());
            // Cast the values in the 'contacts' key as a list
            List<Object> contacts = (List<Object>) results.get('contacts');
            System.debug('Received the following contacts:');
            for (Object contact: contacts) {
                System.debug(contact);
            }
        }
        return response;
    }
