Usage

```rust extern crate strsim;

use strsim::{hamming, levenshtein, normalizedlevenshtein, osadistance, dameraulevenshtein, normalizeddameraulevenshtein, jaro, jarowinkler};

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

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

assert!((normalized_levenshtein("kitten", "sitting") - 0.57142).abs() < 0.00001);

assert_eq!(3, osa_distance("ac", "cba"));

assert_eq!(2, damerau_levenshtein("ac", "cba"));

assert!((normalized_damerau_levenshtein("levenshtein", "löwenbräu") - 0.27272).abs() < 0.00001)

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

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

} ```

Development

If you don't want to install Rust itself, you can run $ ./dev for a development CLI if you have [Docker] installed.

Benchmarks require a Nightly toolchain. They are run by cargo +nightly bench.
