Mulesoft: Using MEL to access an array in JSON payload

I’m trying to call a stored procedure on a MySQL DB, but my MEL expression is not working. I’ve referenced - https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-user-guide/v/3.7/json-module-reference

My setup

                        </db:stored-procedure>I’ve also tried this expression with the same payload

I’ve also tried

Message               : Execution of the expression "message.payload.lines[0]/SKU" failed. (org.mule.api.expression.ExpressionRuntimeException).

I’ve only been using mulesoft for 2 weeks so any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

JSON is not supported by MEL. to access any field of Json, you can use below expression: 

[dw('message.payload.lines[0].SKU')]

your payload is of type String. Convert it to json or java object and then you can access it using the same way.

Error occurs because the payload is in form of String, and it fails executing message.payload.lines[0]/SKU.

Because the message format is a JSON, then you can try to replace it with json:lines[0]/SKU
