How to unescape HTML character entities in Java? 10 answers

Currently I'm working on converting HTML codes with equivalent characters in java. I need to convert the below code to characters.

&#x00E8; - è
&#xAE;   - ®
&#x0026; - &
&#x00F1; - ñ
&#x26;   - &

I tried using the regex pattern

(&#x)([\\d|\\w]*)([\\d|\\w]*)([\\d|\\w]*)([\\d|\\w]*)(;)

When I debug, matcher.find() gives me true but the control skips the loop where I have written the code for conversion. Don't know what is happening there.

Also, is there any way to optimize this regex?

Any help is appreciated.

Exception

java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "x26"
      at java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString(Unknown Source)
      at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Unknown Source)

Yes, don't use regex for this task, use Apache StringEscapeUtils from Apache commons lang:

import org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils;
...
String withCharacters = StringEscapeUtils.unescapeHtml(yourString);

JavaDoc says:

Unescapes a string containing entity escapes to a string containing the actual Unicode characters corresponding to the escapes. Supports HTML 4.0 entities.

For example, the string "<Français>" will become "<Français>"

If an entity is unrecognized, it is left alone, and inserted verbatim into the result string. e.g. ">&zzzz;x" will become ">&zzzz;x".

回答2:

One of all the other possibilities or existing util methods could be spring-web's org.springframework.web.util.HtmlUtils.htmlUnescape.

Example usage in a self-contained Groovy script:

@Grapes(
    @Grab(group='org.springframework', module='spring-web', version='4.3.0.RELEASE')
)
import org.springframework.web.util.HtmlUtils

println HtmlUtils.htmlUnescape("La &#xE9;lite del tenis no teme al zika y jugar&#xE1; en R&#xED;o")
