strsim-rs

Rust implementations of [string similarity metrics]. Best efforts will be made to stay up-to-date with Rust nightly. Includes: - [Hamming] - [Levenshtein] and [Damerau-Levenshtein] - [Jaro and Jaro-Winkler] - this implementation of Jaro-Winkler does not limit the common prefix length

Installation

```toml

Cargo.toml

[dependencies] strsim = "0.2.0" ```

Usage

```rust extern crate strsim;

use strsim::{hamming, levenshtein, dameraulevenshtein, jaro, jarowinkler}; use std::num::Float;

fn main() { match hamming("hamming", "hammers") { Ok(distance) => assert_eq!(3, distance), Err(why) => panic!("{:?}", why) }

assert_eq!(3, levenshtein("kitten", "sitting"));

assert_eq!(1, damerau_levenshtein("specter", "spectre"));

assert!((0.392 - jaro("Friedrich Nietzsche", "Jean-Paul Sartre")).abs() < 
        0.001);

assert!((0.911 - jaro_winkler("cheeseburger", "cheese fries")).abs() < 
        0.001);

} ```
