"Hello World".Slugify();        // hello-world
"Long text...".Truncate(5);     // Long...
"Some text".WordCount();        // 2
"Article content".ReadingTimeInMinutes();
"hello world".ToTitleCase();    // Hello World

4. String & Type Conversions

dict.GetValueOrDefault("key", defaultValue); 
dict.GetOrAdd("key", val);

// Async helpers
await task.WithTimeout(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5));
task.FireAndForget(ex => Console.WriteLine(ex));

8. JSON Helpers

var json = myObj.ToJson();
var obj = json.FromJson<MyType>();

9. Crypto & Security

"password".ToMD5();
"data".EncryptAes("my_secret_key");
"base64encoded".Base64Decode();

10. Reflection & System

obj.GetPropertyValue("Id");
obj.DeepClone();

if (SystemExtensions.IsWindows()) { ... }

11. Web Helpers

var query = new { Page = 1, Sort = "Name" }.ToQueryString();
// Result: "Page=1&Sort=Name"
