VERSION

SYNOPSIS

           use Twitter::API;
           use open qw/:std :utf8/;

           my $client = Twitter::API->new_with_traits(
               traits => [ qw/ApiMethods DecodeHtmlEntites/ ],
               %other_options
           );

           my $status = $client->show_status(801814387723935744);
           say $status->{text};

           # output:
           # Test DecodeHtmlEntities trait. < & > XX X 'single' "double"
           #
           # output without the DecodeHtmlEntities trait:
           # Test DecodeHtmlEntities trait. &lt; &amp; &gt; XX X '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 Twitter::API will decode HTML entities in all of the text
       returned by the API.

       You're welcome.
