# matchr
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An approximate string matching library for the [Go programming language](http://www.golang.org).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Rationale
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Data used in record linkage can often be of dubious quality. Typographical
|
||
|
|
errors or changing data elements (to name a few things) make establishing similarity between two sets of data
|
||
|
|
difficult. Rather than use exact string comparison in such situations, it is
|
||
|
|
vital to have a means to identify how similar two strings are. Similarity functions can cater
|
||
|
|
to certain data sets in order to make better matching decisions. The matchr library provides
|
||
|
|
several of these similarity functions.
