Package: node-fast-levenshtein (2.0.6+ds-3)

efficient implementation of Levenshtein algorithm

In information theory, linguistics, and computer science, the Levenshtein distance is a string metric for measuring the difference between two sequences. Informally, the Levenshtein distance between two words is the minimum number of single-character edits (insertions, deletions or substitutions) required to change one word into the other.

This is pure JavaScript implementation for Node.js.

Node.js is an event-based server-side JavaScript engine.
