I am getting the following string from an API which contains some html entities. I want them to be converted to readable text. How do I do it? Is there any in-built method in React Native to do the same? Doing it without any external library would be a plus.
"This era of design where there was still some "whimsy" is some of my favorite Apple work too. The austere modern era where <i>everything</i> is a slab of glass fronted metal has lost so much of the joy that was found in their earlier computers.<p>If you want a touch screen computer that used this design optimized for sketching, Microsoft took it to the logical conclusion with the Surface Studio:<p><a href=\"https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/surface-studio-2/8sbjxm0m58t4?activetab=pivot:overviewtab\" rel=\"nofollow\">https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/surface-studio-2/8sbjxm0m5...</a><p>This is much better for sketching, as can reach a much flatter angle than the G4 iMac ever could. It also holds its angle quite a bit more securely (I've used both). While I'm not a massive Windows user, the physical aspects of the Surface Studio are pretty nice and much more interesting to me than the latest iMacs."
You can use react-native-render-html to render html content.
import React from 'react';
import { useWindowDimensions } from 'react-native';
import RenderHtml from 'react-native-render-html';
const source = {
html: `

export default function App() {
const { width } = useWindowDimensions();
return (
