clj-fuzzy
clj-fuzzy is a native Clojure library providing a collection of famous algorithms dealing with fuzzy strings and phonetics.
It can be used in Clojure, ClojureScript, client-side JavaScript and Node.js.
Deprecation warning
Consider this library deprecated for JavaScript.
Indeed, the Talisman library can be seen as an improvement over clj-fuzzy and is, what's more, written directly in JavaScript.
