//! Fast and well-tested implementations of edit distance/string similarity metrics: //! - [Levenshtein][1], //! - [Damerau-Levenshtein][2], //! - [Hamming][3], //! - [Jaro][4], //! - [Jaro-Winkler][5]. //! //! [1]: struct.Levenshtein.html //! [2]: struct.DamerauLevenshtein.html //! [3]: struct.Hamming.html //! [4]: struct.Jaro.html //! [5]: struct.JaroWinkler.html //! //! //! # Installation //! //! Add this to your `Cargo.toml`: //! ```toml //! [dependencies] //! eddie = "0.4" //! ``` //! //! //! # Basic Usage //! //! Levenshtein: //! ```rust //! use eddie::Levenshtein; //! let lev = Levenshtein::new(); //! let dist = lev.distance("martha", "marhta"); //! assert_eq!(dist, 2); //! ``` //! //! Damerau-Levenshtein: //! ```rust //! use eddie::DamerauLevenshtein; //! let damlev = DamerauLevenshtein::new(); //! let dist = damlev.distance("martha", "marhta"); //! assert_eq!(dist, 1); //! ``` //! //! Hamming: //! ```rust //! use eddie::Hamming; //! let hamming = Hamming::new(); //! let dist = hamming.distance("martha", "marhta"); //! assert_eq!(dist, Some(2)); //! ``` //! //! Jaro: //! ```rust //! use eddie::Jaro; //! let jaro = Jaro::new(); //! let sim = jaro.similarity("martha", "marhta"); //! assert!((sim - 0.94).abs() < 0.01); //! ``` //! //! Jaro-Winkler: //! ```rust //! use eddie::JaroWinkler; //! let jarwin = JaroWinkler::new(); //! let sim = jarwin.similarity("martha", "marhta"); //! assert!((sim - 0.96).abs() < 0.01); //! ``` //! //! //! # Complementary metrics //! //! The main metric methods are complemented with inverted and/or relative versions. //! The naming convention across the crate is following: //! - `distance` — a number of edits required to transform one string to the other; //! - `rel_dist` — a distance between two strings, relative to string length (inversion of similarity); //! - `similarity` — similarity between two strings (inversion of relative distance). //! //! //! ## Strings vs slices //! //! The crate exposes two modules containing two sets of implementations: //! - `eddie::str` for comparing UTF-8 encoded `&str` and `&String` values. //! Implementations are reexported in the root module. //! - `eddie::slice` for comparing generic slices `&[T]`. //! Implementations in this module are significantly faster than those from `eddie::str`, //! but will produce incorrect results for UTF-8 and other variable width character encodings. //! //! Usage example: //! //! ```rust //! use eddie::slice::Levenshtein; //! //! let lev = Levenshtein::new(); //! let dist = lev.distance(&[1, 2, 3, 4], &[1, 3, 2, 4]); //! assert_eq!(dist, 2); //! ``` //! //! [6]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.char.html //! //! //! # Performance //! //! At the moment Eddie has the fastest implementations among the alternatives from crates.io //! that have Unicode support. //! //! For example, when comparing common english words you can expect //! at least 1.5-2x speedup for any given algorithm except Hamming. //! //! For the detailed measurements tables see [Benchmarks][7] page. //! //!
