HTML Encode Decode in Javascript/jQuery

Last day, I had a resolute and unyielding need to HTML Decode a string.
I saw many solutions but was not satisfied.
Then I found the StackOverFlow reference which is the most optimal solution I have seen till date. Just pasting it here for easy reference.

function htmlEncode(value){ 
  return $('<div/>').text(value).html(); 
} 

function htmlDecode(value){ 
  return $('<div/>').html(value).text(); 
}

Did I say jQuery? I sure did say optimal :P
Happy Coding!

Dependency: jQuery
