title: How do i parse and format Google Directions JSON?
body: <p>I am trying to parse the "html_instructions" string from the "steps" array at <a href="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin=33.7489,-84.3881&amp;destination=33.7514,-84.7478&amp;sensor=false" rel="nofollow">this</a> link: </p>
  
  <p>I have no trouble parsing the string, but it returns with bits of code mixed in.  For Example, the parsed string of: </p>
  
  <pre><code>"html_instructions" : "Head \u003cb\u003esouthwest\u003c/b\u003e toward \u003cb\u003eCapitol Square SW\u003c/b\u003e",
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Appears as: </p>
  
  <pre><code>Head&lt;br&gt;southwest"&lt;/br&gt;"towards&lt;br&gt;...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Instead of appearing simply as:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Head southwest towards...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way i can format the string to remove the "breaks"?  Any help is greatly appreciated.</p>
