@akashivskyy的答案很好，它演示了如何利用它NSAttributedString来解码HTML实体。一个可能的缺点（如他所说）是所有 HTML标记也都被删除了，因此
<strong> 4 < 5 & 3 > 2</strong>
变成
4 < 5 & 3 > 2
在OS X上，有CFXMLCreateStringByUnescapingEntities()哪些工作：
let encoded = "<strong> 4 < 5 & 3 > 2 .</strong> Price: 12 €. @ "
let decoded = CFXMLCreateStringByUnescapingEntities(nil, encoded, nil) as String
println(decoded)
// <strong> 4 < 5 & 3 > 2 .</strong> Price: 12 €. @
但这在iOS上不可用。
这是一个纯粹的Swift实现。它像<使用字典一样解码字符实体引用，并像@或那样解码所有数字字符实体€。（请注意，我没有明确列出所有252个HTML实体。）
