Below is a Json response from Google-directions-api.
If we look at distance object value seems to be in meters and text is round off value in kilometer. But the first object doesn't follow this.
Similar is the case with duration. Value is in seconds and text is round off value in minutes. But the first object in the steps array is not consistent with the result.
I need a consistent data for my Application. What is wrong with this? Is there any solution?
Note: Not all responses are inconsistent but for some responses inconsistency is there.
Any Kind of suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

If you look carefully, there is no inconsistency.
First Object:
distance: Value is in meters. value = 20 meter and hence text is 20 m
duration: Value is in seconds. value = 6 seconds = 0.1 minutes. Rounding it off to non-zero integer value gives 1 minute and hence the text is 1 min
Other objects follow the same pattern.
Cheers!
