You can try setting BodyStyle to bare:

C#

[OperationContract]
[WebGet(BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare)]
public string GetString()
{
    return "ABC";
}

BodyStyle.Bare is by default.
I have checked the same by setting it to Bare but the response is same means there is no change in the response.

Solution 2

public String cleanOUTPUT(String OUTPUT) {
OUTPUT = OUTPUT.replaceAll("","");
OUTPUT = OUTPUT.replaceAll("", "");
return OUTPUT;
}
