Box.V2  .Net Framework. version has dependency from System.Web.dll that was designed to be used in ASP.NET MVC or ASP.NET Web application, i.e. for backend side not for clients. This is a big and heavy dependency that consumes process memory.

For client side applications Microsoft recommends to use other classes and methods than those in System.Web.dll assembly.
For example: for HttpUtility methods they recomend to use WebUtility equivalents

To encode or decode values outside of a web application, use the WebUtility class.

 

Can you please remove depency from it?

Hello 27154001848

We probably need to investigate this a bit more to see what the scope and impact of such a change, but at first glance it looks like a great suggestion!

If you don't mind, you can create an issue on our github to make it easier to track progress of this one
