Bare Path Manipulation

bare-path is a JavaScript library designed for cross-platform path manipulation, focusing on string-based operations rather than interacting with the underlying file system. It provides utilities for joining, normalizing, resolving, and dissecting file paths, similar to Node.js's built-in `path` module. The current stable version is 3.0.0. Its primary differentiator is its minimalist approach and explicit separation of POSIX and Windows path logic via subpath exports, making it highly portable and suitable for environments where `node:path` might not be available or desired due to its implicit OS-specific behavior. It maintains a steady release cadence for core utility packages, prioritizing stability and broad compatibility.
