</Description>

I can’t able to parse it in proper way.

I tried using Jsoup.parse((nodeValue))

and Html.fromHtml(String) also URLEncoder.encode(String)

but its returning simple & symbol thats it.

How to parse this type of response?

Answer 1

Actually its returning only & symbol , that’s because the nodelist item returns only single value.

After using like this:

NodeList fstNm = fstNmElmnt.getChildNodes();

                    System.out.println("nodefstnm"+fstNm.getLength());

                    for(int j=0;j<fstNm.getLength();j++) {
                       String val = ((Node) fstNm.item(j)).getNodeValue();
                       nodeValue=nodeValue.concat(val);
                    }

and then parsing with Jsoup., returns what I want.
