What is path case?

Path case is a naming convention where words are separated by forward slashes (/), commonly used in file paths and URL structures. For example, "user profile settings" becomes "user/profile/settings". This format is essential for organizing hierarchical structures in file systems, URLs, and navigation paths, making it easier to represent nested relationships and maintain clear directory structures.

Tool description

This tool converts text between standard format and path case. It transforms regular text into forward-slash-separated format suitable for file paths, URL structures, and hierarchical naming conventions. The converter handles the transformation in both directions, allowing you to convert to path case or extract readable text from existing path-formatted strings.

Examples

Converting to path case:

  • Input: "User Profile Settings" → Output: "user/profile/settings"
  • Input: "my new project name" → Output: "my/new/project/name"
  • Input: "API Documentation Guide" → Output: "api/documentation/guide"

Converting from path case:

  • Input: "user/profile/settings" → Output: "user/profile/settings"
  • Input: "admin/dashboard/stats" → Output: "admin/dashboard/stats"

Features

  • Bidirectional conversion between standard text and path case format
  • Automatic word separation with forward slashes
  • Lowercase transformation for consistent path formatting
  • Real-time conversion as you type
  • Clean output with proper slash separation

Use cases

  • URL structure planning - Design and format URL paths for websites and APIs
  • File system organization - Create consistent naming conventions for nested directories
  • Route definition - Format route paths for web applications and navigation structures
  • API endpoint design - Generate clean, hierarchical endpoint paths
  • Documentation structure - Organize documentation paths and navigation hierarchies
