datasette-jellyfish

Datasette plugin that adds custom SQL functions for fuzzy string matching, built on top of the Jellyfish Python library by James Turk and Michael Stephens.

Interactive demos:

• soundex, metaphone, nysiis, match_rating_codex comparison.
• distance functions comparison

Examples:

SELECT soundex("hello");
    -- Outputs H400
SELECT metaphone("hello");
    -- Outputs HL
SELECT nysiis("hello");
    -- Outputs HAL
SELECT match_rating_codex("hello");
    -- Outputs HLL
SELECT porter_stem("running");
    -- Outputs run
SELECT levenshtein_distance("hello", "hello world");
    -- Outputs 6
SELECT damerau_levenshtein_distance("hello", "hello world");
    -- Outputs 6
SELECT hamming_distance("hello", "hello world");
    -- Outputs 6
SELECT jaro_similarity("hello", "hello world");
    -- Outputs 0.8181818181818182
SELECT jaro_winkler_similarity("hello", "hello world");
    -- Outputs 0.890909090909091
SELECT match_rating_comparison("hello", "helloo");
    -- Outputs 1

See the Jellyfish documentation for an explanation of each of these functions.
