Introduction
Welcome to the documentation for FuzzyMatchingSwift!
What is FuzzyMatchingSwift?
FuzzyMatchingSwift is a lightweight Swift library that provides fuzzy string matching algorithms. It enables you to compare and search for strings with fuzzy matching, allowing for approximate string matching based on similarity scores.
Key Features
FuzzyMatchingSwift offers the following features:
- Various fuzzy matching algorithms
- Case-insensitive and case-sensitive matching options
- Comprehensive String similarity scores
- Customizable parameters to fine-tune matching
Installation
To install FuzzyMatchingSwift using CocoaPods, add the following line to your Podfile:
“`ruby
pod ‘FuzzyMatchingSwift’
“`
Then run the command pod install
in Terminal.
Usage
To use FuzzyMatchingSwift in your project, you need to import the module:
“`swift
import FuzzyMatchingSwift
“`
Once imported, you can start utilizing the available fuzzy matching algorithms.
Example: Fuzzy Match
To perform a fuzzy match between two strings, you can use the fuzzyMatch()
method. The following example demonstrates how to use it:
“`swift
import FuzzyMatchingSwift
let similarityScore = Fuzziness.fuzzyMatch(“Hello World”, “Hello Swift World”)
print(“Similarity Score: \(similarityScore)”)
“`
Supported Algorithms
FuzzyMatchingSwift supports the following algorithms:
- Levenshtein Distance
- Hamming Distance
- Damerau-Levenshtein Distance
- Jaro Distance
- Jaro-Winkler Distance
Algorithm Usage
To utilize a specific algorithm, call the respective function on the Fuzziness class.
Example: Jaro Distance
To calculate the Jaro Distance between two strings, you can use the jaroDistance()
method. Here’s an example:
“`swift
import FuzzyMatchingSwift
let distance = Fuzziness.jaroDistance(“apple”, “apepl”)
print(“Jaro Distance: \(distance)”)
“`
Conclusion
Congratulations! You are now familiar with FuzzyMatchingSwift and how to integrate it into your Swift projects. Make use of the fuzzy matching algorithms and find creative ways to improve user experiences in your applications!
