A fast, lightweight, cross-platform **URL shortener library** for .NET 8+ applications.

Built with performance and extensibility in mind:

- Base62 encoding for short, URL-safe codes

- Pluggable storage (Redis, in-memory, custom)

- Built-in redirect middleware for ASP.NET Core

- Configurable base URL (no localhost hardcodes)

- Expiration support, async-first design

Perfect for personal projects, internal tools, or embedding in larger applications.

## Features

- Generate short codes (base62) from sequential or custom IDs

- Resolve short codes back to original URLs

- ASP.NET Core middleware for automatic redirects

- Redis backend (with StackExchange.Redis)

- In-memory store for testing/development

- Expiration (TTL) support

- Strong validation & early failure on misconfiguration

- Fully async & cross-platform (.NET 8+)
