I receive from my API a HTML code encoded with unicode style like this:

\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan xml=\u0022lang\u0022 style=\u0022border-collapse: collapse

But I need to transform that into HTML code to show in a UIWebView. But I'm not be able to find a way similar to JavaScript unescape() to get the following NSString:

</span><span xml="lang" style="border-collapse: collapse

FYI - you mention `NSWebView` but tag the question iOS. Did you mean `UIWebView` or did you mean to tag this Cocoa? – rmaddy Feb 04 '16 at 17:11
Yes, UIWebView. Sorry it was a typo ;) – EnriMR Feb 04 '16 at 17:12

Looks like your API returns JSON. A standard JSON encoder should do the job. – bobince Feb 04 '16 at 21:23
