What's the right way to decode a string that has special HTML entities in it?

Honestly, your method is solid @Ambikayache & @tim-khorev .

I use it all the time when parsing strings from APIs. There isn’t a built-in decodeEntities() in JavaScript, so yeah, leveraging the browser’s HTML parser is actually the clever move.

Whether through jQuery or native DOM, either way, it’s the go-to for a JavaScript HTML decode situation.

Hope this helped
