This library is a work in progress.
The fastest Fuzzy Matcher in the wild west. FFI-based.
Find a needle in a haystack based on string similarity and regular expression rules.
Just pass an array of strings to the matcher and it will return the best match(es) for the given needle.
require 'fast_fuzzy_matcher'
FuzzyMatcher.find("whl", ["cartwheel", "foobar", "wheel", "baz"])
=> ["cartwheel", "wheel"]Better documentation is coming soon. For now, please refer to the specs.
To be done.
Approximately 10-60x faster than the fastest Ruby implementation. The difference is more pronounced for longer strings and larger dictionaries.
Detailed documentation is available at rubydoc.
