Console.WriteLine(statusCode.Code);                 // 404
Console.WriteLine(statusCode.Name);                 // Not Found
Console.WriteLine(statusCode.Category.Code);        // 4
Console.WriteLine(statusCode.Category.Name);        // Client Error
Console.WriteLine(statusCode.Category.Description); // Request contains bad syntax or cannot be fulfilled.

MediaType

var mediaType = new MediaType("application/vnd.api+json; charset=UTF-8");

Console.WriteLine(mediaType);                       // application/vnd.api+json; charset=UTF-8
Console.WriteLine(mediaType.Type);                  // application
Console.WriteLine(mediaType.Tree);                  // vnd
Console.WriteLine(mediaType.SubType);               // api
Console.WriteLine(mediaType.Suffix);                // json
Console.WriteLine(mediaType.Parameters["charset"]); // UTF-8

FormUrlEncodedSerializer

Located in the namespace: ByteDev.Http.FormUrlEncoded.Serialization.

Supports all built .NET basic types (primitives, decimal, string, object etc.).

Serialize

var obj = new TestDummy
{
    SomeString = "Test String",
    SomeInt = 10
};

string data = FormUrlEncodedSerializer.Serialize(obj);

Console.WriteLine(data);          // "SomeString=Test+String&SomeInt=10"

Deserialize

string data = "SomeString=Test+String&SomeInt=10";

TestDummy dummy = FormUrlEncodedSerializer.Deserialize<TestDummy>(data);

Console.WriteLine(dummy.SomeString);       // "Test String"
Console.WriteLine(dummy.SomeInt);          // 10
