This is a library that implements various measures of string similarity and distance.

Add the Maven Central repository if it is not already there:

repositories {    mavenCentral()}

Add a dependency to the dependencies block:

dependencies {    implementation"com.aallam.similarity:string-similarity-kotlin:$version"}

The following is the list of implemented algorithms:

• Levenshtein
• Normalized Levenshtein
• Weighted Levenshtein
• Damerau-Levenshtein
• Optimal String Alignment
• Jaro-Winkler
• Longest Common Subsequence
• Metric Longest Common Subsequence
• N-Gram
• Q-Gram
• Cosine similarity
• Jaccard index
• Sorensen-Dice coefficient
• Ratcliff-Obershelp

The library is a Kotlin port ofjava-string-similarity.
