flutter - Remove HTML tags from a String in Dart

Question

I’ve been trying to achieve this for a while, I have a string which contains a lot of HTML tags in it which is in some encoded form Like & lt; and & gt; (without the spaces) in between the string. Can anyone assist me in removing those tags so that I can get a plain string?

Answer 1

Finally I achieved this using the html package

Here’s how I did it

import 'package:html/parser.dart';


//here goes the function 
String _parseHtmlString(String htmlString) {
final document = parse(htmlString);
final String parsedString = parse(document.body.text).documentElement.text;

return parsedString;
}

I don’t know if there is any cleaner way to do this but this one worked for me.
