A handy collection of algorithms dealing with fuzzy strings and phonetics.

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.
