Package path/filepath implements utility routines for manipulating filename paths in a way compatible with the target operating system-defined file paths.

As the implementation automatically decides the path separator based on the target operating system, it is recommended to not include backward or forward slash in any of the arguments to filepath.Join as it might result in improper filepaths.

The filepath package uses either forward slashes or backslashes, depending on the operating system. To process paths such as URLs that always use forward slashes regardless of the operating system, path package is used.

Bad practice

// Target OS: Windows (forward slash won't be cleaned anymore as target OS expects backward slash)
filepath.Join("dir/", filename)

Recommended

filepath.Join("dir", filename)
