Google Directions API가 KML 데이터 제공을 중단한 이유는 무엇입니까?

private Route directions(GeoPoint start, GeoPoint dest) {
    Parser parser;
    String jsonURL = "https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/directions/#JSON";  // API URL
    StringBuffer sBuf = new StringBuffer(jsonURL);
    sBuf.append("?origin=");
    sBuf.append(start.getLatitudeE6()/1E6);
    sBuf.append(',');
    sBuf.append(start.getLongitudeE6()/1E6);
    sBuf.append("&destination=");
    sBuf.append(dest.getLatitudeE6()/1E6);
    sBuf.append(',');
    sBuf.append(dest.getLongitudeE6()/1E6);
    sBuf.append("&sensor=true&mode=driving");
    parser = new GoogleParser(sBuf.toString());
    Route r = parser.parse();
    return r;
}
