public extension String {
    /// Decodes string with HTML encoding.
    var htmlDecoded: String {
        guard let encodedData = self.data(using: .utf8) else { return self }

        let attributedOptions: [String : Any] = [
            NSDocumentTypeDocumentAttribute: NSHTMLTextDocumentType,
            NSCharacterEncodingDocumentAttribute: String.Encoding.utf8.rawValue]

        do {
            let attributedString = try NSAttributedString(data: encodedData,
                                                          options: attributedOptions,
                                                          documentAttributes: nil)
            return attributedString.string
        } catch {
            print("Error: \(error)")
            return self
        }
    }
}
