ObjectivePaths for .NET is a library for filesystem operations. ObjectivePaths intends to make dealing with the filesystem easier, by treating each directory and file as an object.
Because of its design, custom filesystems can be plugged in to further enhance the library. View Demo project to see an example.
// First, create a FileSystemService.
var fileSystemService = new LocalFileSystemService(new FileSystem());
// Chaining:
// Get a file called "C.txt" in sub directory "A\B" of "C:\Users\":
var directory = fileSystemService.GetDirectory("C:\Users\");
var fileTwoLevelsDown = directory.GetDirectory("A").GetDirectry("B").GetFile("C.txt");
// LINQ Querying:
var bigFilesInDirectory = directory.GetFiles().Where(x=> x.Length > 10737418240);
// File Copying:
var newFile = directory.GetFile("newNonExistingFile.txt");
await fileTwoLevelsDown.CopyToAsync(newFile, overwrite: false, CancellationToken.None);
