          Possible solutions (credit to @jerney in the comments)



          Using index manipulation:



          %dw 1.0
          %output application/java

          %var input = "["HELLO", "WORLD"]"
          ---
          input[1..-2]


          Using regex:



          %dw 1.0
          %output application/java

          %var input = "["HELLO", "WORLD"]"
          ---
          input replace /^[|]$/ with ""


          Using simple replacement:



          %dw 1.0
          %output application/java

          %var input = "["HELLO", "WORLD"]"
          ---
          input replace "[" with "" replace "]" with ""

            If you need to be a little bit safer (avoid replacing [ or ] for the entire string), input[1 to -2] is also an option, assuming input is a string.

            Regex is also an option so you don't need to call replace twice: input replace /^[|]$/ with "", but it seems a little more cryptic.
