stringmetric

String metrics and phonetic algorithms for Go (based on the hyper cool rockymadden/stringmetric Scala library). The library provides "facilities to perform approximate string matching, measurement of string similarity/distance, indexing by word pronunciation, and sounds-like comparisons", as of the Scala implementation itself.

Supported metrics and algorithms (in order of implementation)

• Ratcliff-Obershelp (Similarity metric)
• Sørensen–Dice (Similarity metric)
• Hamming (Similarity metric)
