## What is this?
This package is a universal drop-in replacement for Node.js' [`path`][node-path] module.
It enforces consistency between POSIX and Windows operating systems and also provides additional utilities for working
with file URLs, paths, and extensions.
## When should I use this?
For [historical reasons][historical-reasons], Windows followed MS-DOS and used backslashes (`\`) to separate path
components, as opposed to the forwardslashes (`/`) used by POSIX operating systems. Even though Windows operating
systems now support both separators, there are still discrepancies between operating systems when using Node.js' `path`
module:
> The default operation of the `node:path` module varies based on the operating system on which a Node.js application is
> running. Specifically, when running on a Windows operating system, the `node:path` module will assume that
> Windows-style paths are being used. – [*Windows vs. POSIX*][windows-vs-posix]
This package enforces consistency between operating systems by ensuring paths are POSIX-compliant. With support for both
[drive][drive-path] and [UNC paths][unc-path] as well, platform-specific modules like
[`node:path/posix`][node-path-posix] and [`node:path/win32`][node-path-win32] are no longer needed.
> ~~To achieve consistent results when working with Windows file paths on any operating system,
> use [`path.win32`][node-path-win32].~~
> ~~To achieve consistent results when working with POSIX file paths on any operating system,
> use [`path.posix`][node-path-posix].~~
**To achieve consistent results when working with Windows file paths on any operating system, use `pathe`. To achieve
consistent results when working with POSIX file paths on any operating system, use `pathe`. \:blush:**
## Install
This package is [ESM only][esm].
In Node.js (version 18+) with [yarn][]:
```sh
yarn add @flex-development/pathe
```

```ts
import { parse } from 'https://esm.sh/@flex-development/pathe'
```
In browsers with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:
```html
import { parse } from 'https://esm.sh/@flex-development/pathe'
```
