Decoding html entities in nodejs

[lollicode]

Hi all,

Within node I get the content of a remote web page, but need to decode
html entities.

How would you do this in node ? I can't seem to find a lib or function
in "general" javascript that does the trick.

Thanks!

You mean something like php's html_entity_decode? There is a pretty
good one available at phpjs
http://phpjs.org/functions/html_entity_decode:424

Take the case of requesting a page that is encoded with windows-1256 

( and it is in the form of html entities ) using request module.

Request saves response data in a buffer and buffers convert the string

to utf8 when toString is called. So how should I decode html entities

and convert windows1256 to utf8 correctly?

Use node-iconv.
