Tech Transfer api's JSON data shows unnecessary tags and special letters which are not removal while developing an App.

This is the example query -> https://api.nasa.gov/techtransfer/patent/?engine&api_key=DEMO_KEY

And it shows like these letters ->

Due to which I am getting responses like this ->

If these tags can be removed it will be really helpful. Or if there any way anyone can suggest me to remove those tags from my it would be great. Here is my data class ->

            @Parcelize
         data class Patent(
         val count: Int,
         val page: Int,
         val perpage: Int,
         val results: List<List<String>>,
         val total: Int
             ) : Parcelable

You can check app on playstorehttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kushalsharma.nasawalli I have to solve this ASAP. Is there any way to solve this?

As mentioned on the page and in the README, the admins of api.nasa.gov typically don't host the APIs themselves.

The individuals that control the API would be the admins of https://technology.nasa.gov/

However, there's probably 2 general approaches to dealing with it. (A) In whatever language you're using, strip out anything that's inside of a tag using regular expressions, your own parsing function, or packages built for this in your language of choice. (B) Alternatively, you could leave in the tags and simply treat that string as a HTML instead of a text when you add it to your HTML page. This might require writing some CSS to the deal with things like the "highlight" class.

Thanks man, I resolved this issue just by implementing some HTML stuff in android studio. But I wonder if api performance can be improved more. As the active users increase on daily basis, it is takes lot of time to load the data.
