# relativePath

The relative path, conforming to RFC 1808. (read-only)

```
var relativePath: String? { get }
```

## Discussion

This property contains the relative path of the receiver’s URL without resolving against its base URL. Any percent-encoded characters are not unescaped. If the path has a trailing slash it is stripped. If the receiver is an absolute URL, this property contains the same value as [`path`](/documentation/Foundation/NSURL/path). If the receiver does not conform to RFC 1808, it contains `nil`.
