title: How to skip a <br> or any string while parsing json
body: <p>I have json array object as a result of jquery ajax call. 
  I have used "&lt; br >" tag in my python code to format my data in DOM. I want to skip this "&lt; br >" tag as I am converting the ajax response json data into pdf file using jspdf and js auto table. 
  Is there a simple way to skip a set of string ("&lt; br >" in this case) while looping through the json array object.
  Here is the one of the object in json array </p>
  
  <pre><code>{"content":{"rows":[["25.07. ","ma","","","","10:44 - 10:51 &lt;br&gt;","10:57","0:00"],["26.07. ","ti","","","","","","0:00"],["27.07. ","ke","","","","","","0:00"],["28.07.
