Soenneker.Utils.String.Trie 2.1.8

Soenneker.Utils.String.Trie

A utility library for comparing strings via trie (prefix tree) similarity

Installation

dotnet add package Soenneker.Utils.String.Trie

Why?

Imagine you have two strings. Trie-based matching helps you figure out how similar they are by looking at the prefixes they share. Here's why it's handy:

Easy to Understand:

Trie-based matching is straightforward. It helps identify common prefixes between two strings, providing an intuitive measure of similarity.

Not Bothered by Length:

Whether a string is long or short doesn't throw off trie-based matching. It cares more about the common prefixes than the total length of the strings.

Efficient for Big Tasks:

When you're dealing with lots of strings or large texts, trie-based matching is efficient. It quickly identifies common prefixes without getting bogged down by complicated calculations, making it a practical choice for large datasets.

Usage

string str1 = "hello";
string str2 = "hell";

double similarity = TrieStringSimilarityUtil.CalculateSimilarityPercentage(str1, str2); // 80
