About C# HTTP Requests
C#'s HttpClient is the modern, recommended way to make HTTP requests in .NET applications. It's designed for reuse across multiple requests, supports async/await natively, and provides a clean, intuitive API. HttpClient is part of the System.Net.Http namespace and is available in .NET Core, .NET 5+, and .NET Framework.
Key Features
- Modern async/await support
- Connection pooling and reuse
- Automatic content encoding/decoding
- Built-in JSON serialization (.NET 5+)
- Support for HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
- Typed headers and content classes
- IHttpClientFactory for dependency injection
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert a curl command to C#?
Paste your curl command in the input box and click "Convert". The tool generates C# code using HttpClient with async/await patterns.
Should I create a new HttpClient for each request?
No! HttpClient is designed to be reused. In production code, use IHttpClientFactory or a singleton HttpClient to avoid socket exhaustion.
How do I parse JSON responses in C#?
Use System.Text.Json (built-in .NET 5+) or Newtonsoft.Json. Example: JsonSerializer.Deserialize<YourClass>(responseBody)
Does the code work with .NET Framework?
Yes! HttpClient is available in .NET Framework 4.5+ and all versions of .NET Core/.NET 5+. Some features may vary between versions.
How do I add timeouts to C# HTTP requests?
Set the HttpClient.Timeout property, or use CancellationTokenSource for more granular control over request cancellation.
