NAME
       Twitter::API::Trait::DecodeHtmlEntities - Decode HTML entities in strings


VERSION
       version 1.0006


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.
