Decoding HTML Special Characters

Issue

I am currently working on this app that is integrated to a wordpress website. App Fetches JSON data and displays in TextView.

The am facing a problem with the HTML characters. The Wordpress website adds HTML codes such as <div><img> and when it displays in the app it doesn't decode.

Is there a way of decoding HTML characters?

I am currently using below codes:

descTextView.text = NewsContentViewController.newsDetail.desc

Solution

Try using NSAttributedString like so,

let str = NewsContentViewController.newsDetail.desc

if let data = str.data(using: .utf8) {
    do {
        let attrStr = try NSAttributedString(data: data, options: [.documentType: NSAttributedString.DocumentType.html], documentAttributes: nil)
        descTextView.attributedText = attrStr
        print(attrStr)
    } catch {
        print(error)
    }
}

In the above code, do handle if NewsContentViewController.newsDetail.desc is optional String.
