Fuzzy Match

This repository contains a Go language implementation of approximate string matching algorithms.

Preset functions

Inside the package github.com/abhabongse/fuzzymatch-go/factory/preset, there are three examples of preset string similarity score functions with different customizations:

• SimpleSimilarityScore
• PlanSimilarityScore
• ThaiNameSimilarityScore

All of these functions have output values between 0 and 1 (inclusive), where 1 indicates that both input strings are identical under some criteria and 0 indicates that both strings are totally distinct. The signature of these functions is

func(string, string) float64

Customization

New string similarity score functions may be constructed via various higher-order functions provided in this module. Look at the construction of the preset functions above for some ideas of how to introduce addition functionalities to your string similarity score functions.
