Portable Class Library (PCL) Version Of HttpUtility.ParseQueryString

Question

Is there a Portable Class Library (PCL) version Of HttpUtility.ParseQueryString contained in System.Web or some code I could use? I want to read a very complex URL.

Answer 1

My Flurl library is a PCL that parses query strings into IDictionary when you instantiate a Url object from a string:

using Flurl;

var url = new Url("http://...");
// get values from url.QueryParams dictionary

The relevant parsing logic is here. Flurl is small, but feel free to swipe just those bits if you want.
