js-levenshtein

A very efficient JS implementation calculating the Levenshtein distance, i.e. the difference between two strings.

Based on Wagner-Fischer dynamic programming algorithm, optimized for speed and memory

• use a single distance vector instead of a matrix
• loop unrolling on the outer loop
• remove common prefixes/postfixes from the calculation
• minimize the number of comparisons

Install

$ npm install --save js-levenshtein

Usage

const levenshtein = require('js-levenshtein');

levenshtein('kitten', 'sitting');
//=> 3
