Net::Twitter::Trait::DecodeHtmlEntities - Decode HTML entities in strings
VERSION
version 4.9901
SYNOPSIS
use Net::Twitter;
use open qw/:std :utf8/;
my $client = Net::Twitter->new_with_traits(
traits => [ qw/ApiMethods DecodeHtmlEntites/ ],
%other_options
);
my $status = $client->show_status(801814387723935744);
say $status->{text};
# output:
# Test DecodeHtmlEntities trait. < & > ⚠️ 🏉 'single' "double"
#
# output without the DecodeHtmlEntities trait:
# Test DecodeHtmlEntities trait. < & > ⚠️ 🏉 'single' "double"DESCRIPTION
Twitter has trust issues. They assume you're going to push the text you receive in API responses to a web page without HTML encoding it. But you HTML encode all of your output right? And Twitter's lack of trust has you double encoding entities.
So, include this trait and Net::Twitter will decode HTML entities in all of the text returned by the API.
You're welcome.
