Stringmetrics library

Stringmetrics is a library for applying text- and token- based comparison algorithms to determine the similarity of two strings or sets. It currently includes a variety of implementations of Levenshtein distance, Hamming distance, and Jaccard Similarity, with more string metrics expected to be added in the future. It also includes helpful tokenizers for things like splitting sentences into words.

[algorithms] contains the basic string metrics. All of its functions are re-exported here; please see [algorithms] for further details.

The [tokenizers] module is currently sparse, but will contain various common methods of splitting strings up into words for further processing.

Example

use stringmetrics::levenshtein;

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