PathJoin
Pathjoin is a common utility in programming that concatenates multiple path segments into a single path string. Its primary purpose is to produce a valid path with the correct directory separators for the target operating system, while also normalizing the result by removing duplicate separators and resolving references such as "." (current directory) and ".." (parent directory).
The exact behavior of pathjoin can vary between libraries and languages. In many implementations, joining with
Common language variants include path.join in Node.js, os.path.join in Python, and Path.Combine in .NET. These helpers
Use cases include building file system paths from user input or configuration, creating cross-platform file references,
