    So I have fixed my own problem by simple regular expressions , Thank you nmrao  once again for giving me an idea.

    Here is the code,

     

    //imports
import groovy.json.JsonSlurper

//grab the response
def ResponseMessage = messageExchange.response.responseContent

// replace "(starting&ending), [](starting&ending) and \ with space from response
def TrimResponse =ResponseMessage.replaceAll('^\"|\"$','').replaceAll('^\\[|\\]$','')replaceAll('\\\\','')

//define a JsonSlurper
def jsonSlurper = new JsonSlurper().parseText(TrimResponse)

//verify the slurper isn't empty
assert !(jsonSlurper.isEmpty())

assert jsonSlurper.sysSerial != null
assert jsonSlurper.sysSerial == 5
assert jsonSlurper.uploadPolicyTypes[0].sysSerial == 36

    Cheers,

Thank you so much nmrao.

I told the development team but for now I have to create test cases.

I'm trying to replace starting and ending double quotes and backslash with blank space, I think it will resolve the issue.

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper
def ResponseMessage = messageExchange.response.responseContent
// trim starting and ending double quotes
def TrimResponse =ResponseMessage.replaceAll('^\"|\"$','').replaceAll('/\\/','')
def jsonSlurper = new JsonSlurper().parseText(TrimResponse)
assert !(jsonSlurper.isEmpty())
But still I'm getting backslash error,
 

Please tell me how to fix this,
Thanks

    Gkm, Glad to know you could resolve the issue and posting the script.

    However, I understand that it is just a workaround, response should directly work when the service is hit by the different tools .
