How to UrlDecode without having System.Web dll in c#

Question

I'm about to create a self-hosted Web API application, and somewhere I need to URL Decode the input. But I truly don't want to add a reference to System.Web.dll, because AMAIK, it's a heavy DLL and one of the main reasons of getting far from ASP.NET and IIS.

If I'm right, and I don't add a reference to System.Web, then how can I URL Decode effectively without bugs?

Please look at the answers to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1405048/how-do-i-decode-a-url-parameter-using-c — Stephen Reindl, Jan 23 '16 at 15:36

//.Net 4.0+

you can use WebUtility.UrlDecode(). It is not part of system.web.

And you can see this blog: Html and Uri String Encoding without System.Web
