A ***small***, ***fast*** and ***portable*** .NET implementation of the [XDG Base Directory Specification](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html) and XDG user directories for Windows, MacOS and Linux/FreeBSD.

## Default Locations

If any of the respective XDG environment are specified, the variable will always be returned.
Otherwise, the value depends on the operating system.

Inspiration is taken from the [Go implementation](https://github.com/adrg/xdg) for Windows and MacOS directories.
