/// Convenience wrapper for file paths
module godot.api.path;

import godot, godot.projectsettings;

/++
A file path inside the Godot filesystem represented as a local Godot String and
a global D string.

Useful for paths that need to be worked on by functions from both Godot and D.
The conversion is done only once in the constructor and both strings are saved.
