问题

I am pulling a JSON file from a site and one of the strings received is:

The Weeknd &#8216;King Of The Fall&#8217; [Video Premiere] | @TheWeeknd | #SoPhi

How can I convert things like &#8216 into the correct characters?

I've made a Xcode Playground to demonstrate it:

import UIKit

var error: NSError?
let blogUrl: NSURL = NSURL.URLWithString("http://sophisticatedignorance.net/api/get_recent_summary/")
let jsonData = NSData(contentsOfURL: blogUrl)

let dataDictionary = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(jsonData, options: nil, error: &error) as NSDictionary

var a = dataDictionary["posts"] as NSArray

println(a[0]["title"])

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):

let encodedString = "The Weeknd <em>&#8216;King Of The Fall&#8217;</em>"

// encodedString should = a[0]["title"] in your case

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) else {
    return nil
}

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

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

You can create your own String extension to increase reusability:

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) else {
            return nil
        }

        self.init(attributedString.string)
    }

}


let encodedString = "The Weeknd <em>&#8216;King Of The Fall&#8217;</em>"
let decodedString = String(htmlEncodedString: encodedString)

@akashivskyy's answer is great and demonstrates how to utilize NSAttributedString to decode HTML entities. One possible disadvantage (as he stated) is that all HTML markup is removed as well, so

<strong> 4 &lt; 5 &amp; 3 &gt; 2</strong>

becomes

4 < 5 & 3 > 2

On OS X there is CFXMLCreateStringByUnescapingEntities() which does the job:

let encoded = "<strong> 4 &lt; 5 &amp; 3 &gt; 2 .</strong> Price: 12 &#x20ac;.  &#64; "
let decoded = CFXMLCreateStringByUnescapingEntities(nil, encoded, nil) as String
println(decoded)
// <strong> 4 < 5 & 3 > 2 .</strong> Price: 12 €.  @

but this is not available on iOS.

Here is a pure Swift implementation. It decodes character entities references like < using a dictionary, and all numeric character entities like &#64 or &#x20ac. (Note that I did not list all 252 HTML entities explicitly.)

Swift 4:

// Mapping from XML/HTML character entity reference to character
// From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_XML_and_HTML_character_entity_references
private let characterEntities : [ Substring : Character ] = [
    // XML predefined entities:
    "&quot;"    : "\"",
    "&amp;"     : "&",
    "&apos;"    : "'",
    "&lt;"      : "<",
    "&gt;"      : ">",

    // HTML character entity references:
    "&nbsp;"    : "\u{00a0}",
    // ...
    "&diams;"   : "♦",
]

extension String {

    /// Returns a new string made by replacing in the `String`
    /// all HTML character entity references with the corresponding
    /// character.
    var stringByDecodingHTMLEntities : String {

        // ===== Utility functions =====

        // Convert the number in the string to the corresponding
        // Unicode character, e.g.
        //    decodeNumeric("64", 10)   --> "@"
        //    decodeNumeric("20ac", 16) --> "€"
        func decodeNumeric(_ string : Substring, base : Int) -> Character? {
            guard let code = UInt32(string, radix: base),
                let uniScalar = UnicodeScalar(code) else { return nil }
            return Character(uniScalar)
        }

        // Decode the HTML character entity to the corresponding
        // Unicode character, return `nil` for invalid input.
        //     decode("&#64;")    --> "@"

        //     decode("&lt;")     --> "<"
        //     decode("&foo;")    --> nil
        func decode(_ entity : Substring) -> Character? {

            if entity.hasPrefix("&#x") || entity.hasPrefix("&#X") {
                return decodeNumeric(entity.dropFirst(3).dropLast(), base: 16)
            } else if entity.hasPrefix("&#") {
                return decodeNumeric(entity.dropFirst(2).dropLast(), base: 10)
            } else {
                return characterEntities[entity]
            }
        }

        // ===== Method starts here =====

        var result = ""
        var position = startIndex

        // Find the next '&' and copy the characters preceding it to `result`:
        while let ampRange = self[position...].range(of: "&") {
            result.append(contentsOf: self[position ..< ampRange.lowerBound])
            position = ampRange.lowerBound

            // Find the next ';' and copy everything from '&' to ';' into `entity`
            guard let semiRange = self[position...].range(of: ";") else {
                // No matching ';'.
                break
            }
            let entity = self[position ..< semiRange.upperBound]
            position = semiRange.upperBound

            if let decoded = decode(entity) {
                // Replace by decoded character:
                result.append(decoded)
            } else {
                // Invalid entity, copy verbatim:
                result.append(contentsOf: entity)
            }
        }
        // Copy remaining characters to `result`:
        result.append(contentsOf: self[position...])
        return result
    }
}

Example:

let encoded = "<strong> 4 &lt; 5 &amp; 3 &gt; 2 .</strong> Price: 12 &#x20ac;.  &#64; "
let decoded = encoded.stringByDecodingHTMLEntities
print(decoded)
// <strong> 4 < 5 & 3 > 2 .</strong> Price: 12 €.  @

回答8:

I was looking for a pure Swift 3.0 utility to escape to/unescape from HTML character references (i.e. for server-side Swift apps on both macOS and Linux) but didn't find any comprehensive solutions, so I wrote my own implementation: https://github.com/IBM-Swift/swift-html-entities

The package, HTMLEntities, works with HTML4 named character references as well as hex/dec numeric character references, and it will recognize special numeric character references per the W3 HTML5 spec (i.e.  should be unescaped as the Euro sign (unicode U+20AC) and NOT as the unicode character for U+0080, and certain ranges of numeric character references should be replaced with the replacement character U+FFFD when unescaping).

Usage example:

import HTMLEntities

// encode example
let html = "<script>alert(\"abc\")</script>"

print(html.htmlEscape())
// Prints ”&lt;script&gt;alert(&quot;abc&quot;)&lt;/script&gt;"

// decode example
let htmlencoded = "&lt;script&gt;alert(&quot;abc&quot;)&lt;/script&gt;"

print(htmlencoded.htmlUnescape())
// Prints ”<script>alert(\"abc\")</script>"

And for OP's example:

print("The Weeknd &#8216;King Of The Fall&#8217; [Video Premiere] | @TheWeeknd | #SoPhi ".htmlUnescape())
// prints "The Weeknd ‘King Of The Fall’ [Video Premiere] | @TheWeeknd | #SoPhi "

Edit: HTMLEntities now supports HTML5 named character references as of version 2.0.0. Spec-compliant parsing is also implemented.

Elegant Swift 4 Solution

If you want a string

myString = String(htmlString: encodedString)

Add this extension to your project

extension String {

    init(htmlString: String) {
        self.init()
        guard let encodedData = htmlString.data(using: .utf8) else {
            self = htmlString
            return
        }

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

        do {
            let attributedString = try NSAttributedString(data: encodedData,
                                                          options: attributedOptions,
                                                          documentAttributes: nil)
            self = attributedString.string
        } catch {
            print("Error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
            self = htmlString
        }
    }
}

If you want an NSAttributedString with Bold, Italic, Links etc:

textField.attributedText = try? NSAttributedString(htmlString: encodedString)

Add this extension to your project

extension NSAttributedString {

    convenience init(htmlString html: String) throws {
        try self.init(data: Data(html.utf8), options: [
            .documentType: NSAttributedString.DocumentType.html,
            .characterEncoding: String.Encoding.utf8.rawValue
            ], documentAttributes: nil)
    }

}

This would be my approach. You could add the entities dictionary from https://gist.github.com/mwaterfall/25b4a6a06dc3309d9555 Michael Waterfall mentions.

extension String {

            "&lt;"      : "<",
            "&gt;"      : ">",

The total solution that finally worked for me with html code and newline characters and single quotes

extension String {
    var htmlDecoded: String {
        let decoded = try? NSAttributedString(data: Data(utf8), options: [
            .documentType: NSAttributedString.DocumentType.html,
            .characterEncoding: String.Encoding.utf8.rawValue
            ], documentAttributes: nil).string

        return decoded ?? self
    }
}

Usage:

let yourStringEncoded = yourStringWithHtmlcode.htmlDecoded

I then had to apply some more filters to get rid of single quotes ( for eg: don't, hasn't, It's etc), and new line characters like \n

var yourNewString = String(yourStringEncoded.filter { !"\n\t\r".contains($0) })
yourNewString = yourNewString.replacingOccurrences(of: "\'", with: "", options: NSString.CompareOptions.literal, range: nil)

Swift 3.0 version with actual font size conversion

Normally, if you directly convert html to attributed string, the font size is increased. You can try to convert html string to attributed string and back again to see the difference.

Instead, here is the actual size conversion that make sure the font size does not change, by applying the 0.75 ratio on all fonts

extension String {
    func htmlAttributedString() -> NSAttributedString? {
        guard let data = self.data(using: String.Encoding.utf16, allowLossyConversion: false) else { return nil }
        guard let attriStr = try? NSMutableAttributedString(
            data: data,
            options: [NSDocumentTypeDocumentAttribute: NSHTMLTextDocumentType],
            documentAttributes: nil) else { return nil }
        attriStr.beginEditing()
        attriStr.enumerateAttribute(NSFontAttributeName, in: NSMakeRange(0, attriStr.length), options: .init(rawValue: 0)) {
            (value, range, stop) in
            if let font = value as? UIFont {
                let resizedFont = font.withSize(font.pointSize * 0.75)
                attriStr.addAttribute(NSFontAttributeName,
                                         value: resizedFont,
                                         range: range)
            }
        }
        attriStr.endEditing()
        return attriStr

Have a look at HTMLString - a library written in Swift that allows your program to add and remove HTML entities in Strings

For completeness, I copied main features from the site:

Adds entities for ASCII and UTF-8/UTF-16 encodings
Removes more than 2100 named entities (like &)
Supports removing decimal and hexadecimal entities
Designed to support Swift Extended Grapheme Clusters (→ 100% emoji-proof)
Fully unit tested
Fast
Documented
Compatible with Objective-C

I really like the solution using documentAttributes however it is may to slow for parsing files and/or usage in table view cells. I can;t believe that Apple does not provide a decent solution for this.

As a workaround, I found on GitHub this String Extension which works perfectly and fast for decoding.

So for situations in which the given answer is to slow see the solution suggest in this link: https://gist.github.com/mwaterfall/25b4a6a06dc3309d9555 Note: it does not parse HTML tags.
