Is There a Faster Way to Decode HTML Characters to a String Than HTML.Fromhtml()

Is there a faster way to decode html characters to a string than Html.fromHtml()?

What about org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils's unescapeHtml(). The library is available on Apache site.

(EDIT: June 2019 - See the comments below for updates about the library)

Decode HTML entities in android

The Html class is supposed to do that, however it is said that everything is not supported. It always worked for me but I never had ö so I can't tell for this one.
Try Html.fromHtml(yourStr) to get the decoded string.

HTML Entity Decode

You could try something like:

var Title = $('<textarea />').html("Chris' corner").text();console.log(Title);

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

How can I decode HTML characters in C#?

You can use HttpUtility.HtmlDecode

If you are using .NET 4.0+ you can also use WebUtility.HtmlDecode which does not require an extra assembly reference as it is available in the System.Net namespace.

There's no straightforward way to do that, but you can use NSAttributedString magic to make this process as painless as possible (be warned that this method will strip all HTML tags as well).

Remember to initialize NSAttributedString from main thread only. It uses WebKit to parse HTML underneath, thus the requirement.

// This is a[0]["title"] in your case
let htmlEncodedString = "The Weeknd <em>‘King Of The Fall’</em>"

guard let data = htmlEncodedString.data(using: .utf8) else {
    return
}

let options: [NSAttributedString.DocumentReadingOptionKey: Any] = [
    .documentType: NSAttributedString.DocumentType.html,
    .characterEncoding: String.Encoding.utf8.rawValue
]

guard let attributedString = try? NSAttributedString(data: data, options: options, documentAttributes: nil) else {
    return
}

// The Weeknd ‘King Of The Fall’
let decodedString = attributedString.string

extension String {

    init?(htmlEncodedString: String) {

        guard let data = htmlEncodedString.data(using: .utf8) else {
            return nil
        }

        let options: [NSAttributedString.DocumentReadingOptionKey: Any] = [
            .documentType: NSAttributedString.DocumentType.html,
            .characterEncoding: String.Encoding.utf8.rawValue
        ]

        guard let attributedString = try? NSAttributedString(data: data, options: options, documentAttributes: nil) else {
            return nil
        }

        self.init(attributedString.string)

    }

}

let encodedString = "The Weeknd <em>‘King Of The Fall’</em>"
let decodedString = String(htmlEncodedString: encodedString)

Android string encoding and html entities converting

to decode Html String you can use Html.fromHtml()

like

Html.fromHtml((String) htmlCode).toString();

if you want reverse

than you can use TextUtils.htmlEncode()

How to render HTML string as real HTML?

Check if the text you're trying to append to the node is not escaped like this:

var prop = {
    match: {
        description: '<h1>Hi there!</h1>'
    }
};

Instead of this:

var prop = {
    match: {
        description: '<h1>Hi there!</h1>'
    }
};

if is escaped you should convert it from your server-side.

The node is text because is escaped

The node is a dom node because isn't escaped
