stringdist_api

As of version <code>0.9.5.0</code> several <code>C</code> level functions can be linked to
and called from C code in other R packages.
A description of the API can be found in <a href="/link/stringdist_api.pdf?package=stringdist&version=0.9.12" data-mini-rdoc="stringdist::stringdist_api.pdf">stringdist_api.pdf</a>.

Implements an approximate string matching version of R's native
'match' function. Also offers fuzzy text search based on various string
distance measures. Can calculate various string distances based on edits
(Damerau-Levenshtein, Hamming, Levenshtein, optimal sting alignment), qgrams (q-
gram, cosine, jaccard distance) or heuristic metrics (Jaro, Jaro-Winkler). An
implementation of soundex is provided as well. Distances can be computed between
character vectors while taking proper care of encoding or between integer
vectors representing generic sequences. This package is built for speed and
runs in parallel by using 'openMP'. An API for C or C++ is exposed as well.
