How to convert HTML entities in a string to readable text in React Native?-CodePudding

I am getting the following string from an API which contains some html entities. I want them to be converted to readable text. How do I do it? Is there any in-built method in React Native to do the same? Doing it without any external library would be a plus.

You can use react-native-render-html to render html content.

import React from 'react';
import { useWindowDimensions } from 'react-native';
import Html from 'react-native-render-html';

const source = {
  html: `

export default function App() {
  const { width } = useWindowDimensions();
  return (
    <HTML html={source} contentWidth={width}/>
  );
}
