Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
WireMock is currently a single monolithic dependency that pulls with it a very large amount of transitive dependencies, regardless of whether the features are used or not. This can be seen as a minor inconvenience, but enough for our team to have decided to use a different testing tool.

Describe the solution you'd like
Split WireMock into separate dependencies depending on desired features, especially if the features require large transitive dependencies (eg: Graphql)

Describe alternatives you've considered
We have tried to exclude non-used transitive dependencies, but it is a clunky solution.

Good point. I'll think on this...

If you have time, you can test preview version 1.5.48-ci-18384 which has separate NuGet for GraphQL, ProtoBuf and MimeKitLite.

Thank you for your work! I didn't expect such a quick response :)
It is much better, though there are still many dependencies that I don't know whether they are part of the core functionality or could be add-ons.
Either way, I believe it is an awesome step into a modular approach!

I'll check if more packages can be extracted, however after some thinking, I want to take a slightly different approach.

  • I want to keep the WireMock.Net NuGet the same, to avoid backwards compatibility issues.
  • I'll create a new NuGet WireMock.Net.Minimal which excludes these extra packages.

Thank you for all your hard work and contributions to this project! I was wondering if the split is still something you're considering or if it is on hold for the time being. I much prefer this library to alternatives, but the dependencies are causing issues

Yes, it's still planned, however I dont have a time table.
