#stringmetric
A collection of string metrics implemented in Scala. Includes a light-weight core API and CLI for each string metric. The following string metrics are currently supported:
* Hamming
* Jaro
* Jaro-Winkler
* Levenshtein
* Metaphone
* Soundex
## Building the API
gradle jar
## Building the CLI
gradle tar
## Using the API
`// Import metric of choice.`
`import org.hashtree.stringmetric.distance.JaroWinklerMetric`
`// Invoke metric compare method.`
`val distance = JaroWinklerMetric.compare("string1", "string2")`
`// Do something. In this case, distance is between 1.0f and 0.0f.`
`if (distance >= 0.9) println("It's likely you're a match!")`
## Using the CLI
Uncompress the built tar and ensure you have ability to execute the commands. Execute the metric of choice via the command line:
`jaroWinklerMetric --help`
`jaroWinklerMetric abc xyz`
## Requirements
* Scala 2.9.2
* Gradle 1.2 or above
