Api Endpoint

String Similarity (Levenshtein)

String similarity: compare two strings and return every standard measure in one call: Levenshtein and Damerau-Levenshtein edit distance, normalised similarity, Jaro and Jaro-Winkler, longest common subsequence, Dice coefficient on character bigrams, and the Soundex, Metaphone and NYSIIS phonetic keys of each string. Optional case folding, accent folding and whitespace normalisation before comparison.
