Crate strsim [−] [src]

This library implements string similarity metrics. Includes Hamming, Levenshtein, Jaro, and Jaro-Winkler.

damerau_levenshtein	Same as Levenshtein but allows for adjacent transpositions.
damerau_levenshtein_against_vec	Calculates the Damerau-Levenshtein distance between a string and each string in a vector. Returns a vector of corresponding values.
hamming	Calculates the number of positions in the two strings where the characters differ. Returns an error if the strings have different lengths.
jaro	Calculates the Jaro similarity between two strings. The returned value is between 0.0 and 1.0 (higher value means more similar).
jaro_against_vec	Calculates the Jaro distance between a string and each string in a vector. Returns a vector of corresponding values between 0.0 and 1.0 (higher value means more similar).
jaro_winkler	Like Jaro but gives a boost to strings that have a common prefix.
jaro_winkler_against_vec	Calculates the Jaro-Winkler distances between a string and each string in a vector. Returns a vector of corresponding values.
levenshtein	Calculates the minimum number of insertions, deletions, and substitutions required to change one string into the other.
levenshtein_against_vec	Calculates the Levenshtein distance between a string and each string in a vector. Returns a vector of corresponding values.
